Notes
Yemeni writer Ahmed Kâsım al-Arîkî, in addition to his profession as a pharmacist, is a writer who has made a name for himself in the country's literary field, especially in the last fifteen years. Arîkî, a productive writer, has poetry compilations as well as story and novel works that highlight awareness of the traditional issues of the Yemeni people. “Maḳâmâtü’l-‘Arîḳî” (2006), “Ġalṭetu Ḳalem” (2012), “Kurâtü’s̱-S̱elc” (2017), Ta‘riyye” (2018), “Zürbetü’l-Yumnâ” (2018), His works "Da'vetü'l-Ḥuḳûl" (2019), "Zührü'l-Ġarâm" and "Sîretu Kûbî" (2022) were published, and his novel "Yevme Mâte'ş-Şeytan" (The Day the Devil Died) was published electronically by Hindâvî Publishing House in 2022, which is approximately 120 pages. The novel is written in six chapters. There are eleven passages in the first and fourth chapters, twelve passages in the third chapter and eight passages in the fifth chapter. The novel is about the adventures of an army officer named Mervan Naci, who was injured in the war between the Houthi militia and the Yemeni army and woke up in a perfect world dominated by biological and technological developments. The author sometimes symbolizes the treatment of selfishness and various narcissism with advanced vaccines through the death of Satan. While he describes his adventures in his world, which he describes as the world of demons, in a very simple language, he does not refrain from criticizing reality with its various political, social and religious dimensions. In fact, Mervan's dream and fantasy world is the main story of the novel, but it is not the only story. The author also includes the stories of family members in Mervan's world of chaos, destruction, massacre, war and victory, giving the reader the opportunity to compare both worlds. While the female characters of the world, Professor Mari and Mariana, one of his seven wives, are the other important characters of the dream world. Gusûn is a devoted mother who does not leave her son's side in a coma, prays for him day and night, and tries to do everything she can for his recovery. Gusûn, who is listened to at home to a certain extent, scolds her grandchildren to prevent her son's home from being destroyed due to the inheritance, defends that the current wealth still belongs to her son, and reminds Gusûn that she will not hesitate to spend money for his recovery. Hamide, who is not as patient as her mother-in-law, is also a jealous woman. On the other hand, although both of them have false religious tendencies that have no connection with real life, it is Gusun who is more prone to superstitious approaches put forward and adopted in the name of religion. Fatma is a widow who, like her, has been engaged in anti-regime demonstrations and has been engaged to her uncle's son, Münir, for whom she believes in love. Fatma, who is more conscious than her grandmother and mother, is no stranger to the issues that society complains about and often participates in women's movements organized against the government. Professor Mari, one of the two important characters in Mervan's dream world, is a psychologist and the chief physician of a large hospital who treats jealousy, anger, lies and selfishness, which are considered dangerous viruses, with vaccines developed by scientists. Professor Mari, who is personally involved in Mervan's treatment, also chairs the committee that records his memory and reflects all his memories on a giant screen. Mariana, on the other hand, checks whether the effects of the vaccines given to Mervan are reflected in his behavior through a biological chip, criticizes him from time to time through the tragic images projected on the screen from his memory, and provides information that will facilitate his adaptation to his new world. In the article, which briefly introduces the author's main published works, the social messages that an author who is not indifferent to the realities of the geography he lives in, tries to give directly and indirectly in a language far from local, an ideal world that the author symbolizes with the death of Satan. It is seen that the desire to become a single nation by making love, brotherhood, friendship and peace dominant lies behind his dream.
