Sana’a – SABA:
The novel "The Awakening" by French writer Laurent Gounelle has been recently published by Nofal – Hachette Antoine. Unlike his previous works, this 152-page novel draws inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic, relying on sociological studies to reveal how crises are used as tools of control and how laws are crafted to force compliance, making people believe they are choosing their fate freely.
"The Awakening" is a sharp, satirical novel that skillfully critiques the contradictions of modern society.
In a statement received by SABA News Agency, the publisher described the book as:
"Not just a novel… but a mirror reflecting modern societies and a wake-up call for dormant minds."
Laurent Gounelle, born in 1966, is a renowned French author with ten novels translated into 25 languages. Among his notable works is "The Day I Learned to Live", published by Nofal in 2019.
