''The Fortified Castle'' ((アラビア語:القلعة الحصينة) ''Al-Qala-ah Al-Hasinah'') is Saddam Hussein's third of four novels. The book involves political metaphor. It is a 713 pages and was published in 2001. It is another allegorical work. It concerns the delayed wedding of the Iraqi hero, who fought in the war against Iran, to a Kurdish girl. There are three characters: the two brothers Sabah and Mahmud, from rural area from the west bank of the Tigris River from a farming family coming, and a young woman Shatrin from Suleimaniya. They all go into the same university in Baghdad. Sabah is a war hero from the days of the Battle of New Qadisiyya (Iran-Iraq war), during which he was wounded in the leg and taken prisoner of war in Iran, from which he finally manage to escape with a few friends. Shatrin from Suleimaniya is the representative for the Kurds. The power of the "fortified castle" (a reference to Iraq) lies in its unity; despite proposals to divide the property, the hero's mother refuses. She also states that it cannot be purchased with money: "Only those who give it their blood and defend it are its rightful owners."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saddam's New Book: 'Begone, Accursed One!' )〕 == See also == *Saddam Hussein's novels 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Fortified Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
