Discussing Sami Moubayed’s book “Tramway: The Road to Modernity Passed through Damascus,” which is scheduled for release by Riad El-Rayyes Books in Beirut in early September, Amin Maalouf said that the new book “awakens nostalgia and some hope.”
The release represents the sixth collaboration between Moubayed and El-Rayyes Books. Together, the author and the publishing house issued a series of books on the contemporary history of the city of Damascus.
