Holmes shook his head sadly. ‘You think that unless this document is found there will be war?’ ‘It’s very likely,’ said the prime minister. ‘Then, sir, we must prepare for war.’

It has happened again. The strange bearded man on the bicycle followed me this morning. I tried suddenly turning and racing towards him, but he was just as quick.

هناك خيال عاقل، وخيال مجنون، وخيال يُحلِّق بين العالمين ليجمع الدهشة من كليهما، وإلى النوع الأخير تنتمي رواية عبد الرحيم كمال الجديدة «أبناء حورة». «وإذا به يجد نفسه في غرفة بلا سطح، داخلها إوَزَّة بيضاء شديدة الجمال، كان هو وهي فقط في تلك الحجرة المشمسة، ولما أقبل نحوها مسرعًا بسكينه الحاد لم تجرِ، بل ظلت ساكنة حتى أمسك بها واحتضنها، وقبل أن يمرر سكينه على رقبتها همست بمنقارها: أحبك يا طاهر». عرف الجمهور الواسع عبد الرحيم كمال بوصفه كاتبًا لأشهر المسلسلات التلفزيونية، مثل: «الخواجة عبد القادر» و«ونوس» و«شيخ العرب همام»، لكن «أبناء حورة» تنتمي إلى الوجه الآخر لهذا المبدع الكبير؛ وجه الأديب الروائي الذي يأخذ فن الحكي إلى عوالم شاسعة لا يتسع لها سوى خيال القارئ. هنا نتعرف على «حورة» وأولادها الذين ليس لهم مثيل، نلتقي «نور الطريق جمال» و«حُسن الجوار جمال» و«سيف القضاء جمال»، نقابل الرياحي والحُر الواثق ورمَّاح الحكَّاء، نرى العمالقة ونختبئ من الغيلان وندخل عوالم يمتزج فيها الطير والبشر. نعيش في قاهرة لا تشبه قاهرتنا، ومستقبل لا يشبه حاضرنا، لكن شيئًا واحدًا يربطنا، هو النجاة في الحب مهما تعددت طرائقه، أو كما يقول الشيخ صفي الدين بإخلاص ويقين: «ثوب الحب لا يُصنع إلا بخيوط من عجب».
