Nour and Saladin (Volume 5): Olfactory journeys, by Lyess Chacal

Odors play an undeniable role in human life. Good or bad, they are full of symbols with heavy meaning. That sorcerers and other apostles of evil resort to fumigations whose odors are often unbearable, shows how unstoppable the mirror effect is. To immoral and reprehensible behavior correspond repulsive and repulsive odors.

On the contrary, good souls are perfumed and make those around them enjoy their perfume. For all these reasons, the theme of smells is of fundamental interest because it has social, cultural and religious dimensions. The olfactory journeys that Nour and Saladin will experience will literally transport you to remote times that will make you discover how the introduction of coffee in the land of Islam caused a real earthquake in the 16th century. You will discover the brief history of frankincense, not to mention the famous road to India and its no less famous Kerala pepper.

All the smells mentioned in this new opus are pretexts for exciting journeys during which Saladin will rediscover the old tradition of the Mussaharati during the month of Ramadan; as for Nour, she will take us to meet illustrious learned women of Islam. In short, exciting adventures to learn more and more in a fun way.
