Prisoners of War - Survival and...

Sage Winters

Throughout history, the experiences of prisoners of war (POWs) have captured the complexities of human endurance, resilience, and the moral challenges of conflict. In the midst of war, being taken captive often represents a turning point—one where survival becomes an individual’s primary focus, yet the determination to resist the enemy may persist despite overwhelming odds. This book explores the world of POWs, examining the strategies they employed to endure, resist, and sometimes escape the harsh conditions imposed by their captors.  
  
Prisoners of war are not merely bystanders in conflicts; they are active participants in a different kind of battle. The battlefield shifts from the open fields of combat to the confines of prison camps, where physical deprivation, psychological manipulation, and moral dilemmas take center stage. Despite these hardships, many POWs found ways to preserve their dignity and humanity. They organized covert resistance movements, forged powerful bonds with their fellow captives, and made daring escape attempts, each story a testament to the indomitable human spirit.  
  
International laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, were designed to protect the rights and well-being of POWs. However, history reveals that these laws were often ignored or inadequately enforced, leaving countless captives to endure severe mistreatment. The book delves into these legal frameworks while highlighting the real-life stories of those who lived through captivity, offering a vivid account of their experiences.

The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran

I go with the wind, people of Orphalese, but not down into emptiness; And if this day is not a fulfilment of your needs and my love, then let it be a promise till another day.” 
  
The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. As he bids farewell to the people of Orphalese, Almustafa speaks with them on the topics closest to their hearts. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book. 
  
The Prophet is a work of fiction, written by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a key figure in Arabic literary modernist movement, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. As a product of his culturally-rich upbringing, Gibran’s work beautifully blends religious traditions and philosophies from around the world.
