I came back home after assurances of meeting each other again later. He learnt certain Arabic words, arbab, masara, khubus, mayin, and a few more. Full 5 stars for the beautiful writing.. A relatively rare translation from Malayalam by Joseph Koyipally, it is, as its title suggests, a book in which goats feature prominently. He was introduced to the hostility of his arbab when he displayed his authority over Najeeb by means of his binoculars and double barrelled gun. To him all human company was forbidden, and he could only interact with the goats around him. The depths to which human beings can plunge is narrated without any sentimentality or righteousness, almost in the tone of a child which has met unfair treatment at the hands of its parents.

I haven't read any other works of Benyamin yet and so I dont know if its his style of writing, but what stood out was the simplicity so befitting the behyamin in the language being used for telling the story, and all th Ever happened to you that you picked up a book to read in your bed and spent the first few hours of the night reading it in one go and spending the rest thinking about it? Benyamin does not ornament the prose or the story unnecessarily— this is a tale which will strike at you with its unflinching honesty and simplicity.
Baths are out of the question. I lament them all. An achievement and a haunting portrayal of life on unknown shores. It was a book that made ashamed at all the whining Benyxmin had made of the little setbacks I faced in life.
The term "Middle East" brings to mind images of prosperous towns populated by beautiful people, enjoying the glittering night-life with wine and song, all powered by the petro-dollar.
Recommend it and have no regrets. It is not very often that he craved for home, but whenever he did, it drained him of all his happiness. Goat days is about a simple man's ordeal, the strange relationships he forges in order to survive and ultimately, his determination and survival urge. Their journey is laced from this moment with strong apprehension regarding their future in Riyadh.

I was indulged in my annual routine departure-lougue-book-shopping at Nedumbasseri one late night, and 'Aadu Jeevitham' was hightly recommended as one of the most selling malayalam works of this decade, according to the really friendly and enthusiastic sales person there who actually seems to have read a lot of the books on sale and could have a decent chat about my own favorites like Parinamam or Oru Desanthinte Katha etc, which in itself was a pleasant surprise.
Pd if it were not so, we know this story aadujeeitham not so far from truth. What they do there is secondary.
However, what Najeeb has is a reservoir of patience and determination to cling on in the face of obstacles which may have driven many a person to the point of no return and it is this determination for life that we should take away, ultimately, from this hard hitting book.
By Muhammad Shahbaz Mustafai. So personally it is just a nightmare of every traveller in a way. Knowing that the day has been a long one, I took a shower alternating between hot and cold water.
Now I hang my head in shame It is such little anecdotes that remind us that we are resilient beyond measure and none of the so called self-help books will even hold a candle against such blazing accounts from benhamin. Once, while climbing Jordan's highest mountain, we wandered into Saudi Arabia. Joseph Koyippally is the translator.

He cleaned himself with stones after defecation. Goats and camels understand humans better than humans understand them or one another. He rejoices when they give birth and mourns when they die.
He gradually develops a strong familial bond with the goats. His faith in his God helps him survive his days with the disarming conviction of the simply faithful that everything is a test dpf the one above will pull them through this too. The unsaid fear on foreign shores or new cities - is something I am well aware of. Someone comes to claim him and they drive far off into the desert where he begins work.
Log In Sign Up. Sreejith Kv ow can read the book from computer ,where I will start. He believes in fighting for his survival. He could also listen to the plants. I remember the conversation, but I didn't remember to read the book. It is not sure if there was a mix-up in the sponsorship of his visa that led to this; he was meant to be a construction worker.
