* * * Winner - Best Novella 2024 - Independent Press Award * * * A thought experiment in novella form, Tranquility Bight poses a simple question: What would it take for a good person to commit an unforgivable act of evil? For a model community of upstanding citizens, the answer is shocking in its brutal mundanity.Follow one resident as he navigates a series of events likely to alter both his attitude toward others and his understanding of his own human nature. Will reason triumph, or is a deliberate act of irrational self-sabotage the only means of maintaining his human agency?In this thought-provoking work, Bahr Burr explores existentialist themes addressing one man's seemingly irrational choice to deliberately pursue a course of action contrary to his own best interests. Is man merely a piano key played by powers beyond his control? If so, how should he respond? Is he still responsible for his own actions?While allowing readers to draw their own conclusions, Burr crafts a narrative designed to force contemplation of one's own moral agency and the tragically simple means by which evil can take control.Does reason account for all human actions? Can man's behavior be predicted according to his own best interests? One thing is certain: If man is a piano key, the note he strikes is sometimes out of tune.

أصل هذه القصة أحدوثة، وما أصغرها من أحدوثة، جرت على الألسنة في إيطاليا وتداولتها نقلاً عنها سائر الأمم محصلها أن فتاة ذات مال وافر وجمال باهر وعقل كالكوكب الزاهر كان قد مات عنها أبواها فخطبها إلى نفسها ملك مراكش وأمير أراغون في جملة النبهاء ممن خطبها ولكنها وجدت الميل إلى شاب رقيق الحال من مسقط رأسها ومن بني جنسها استدان المال الذي أنفقه في الزلفى إليها بضمان صديق له فقير مثله رهن لليهودي الذي أقرض ذلك المال رطلاً من لحم صدره فاستخارت الفتاة الله في مستقبلها وناطت أمرها بثلاثة صناديق ذهبي وفضي ورصاصي جعلت في الأول منها جمجمة ميت وفي الثاني رأس هُزأة أبله وفي الثالث رسمها فمن اختار من الخطّاب الصندوق الذي فيه رسمها أصبحت له حليلة.وقد جاء في هذه الحكاية ما يجيء عادة في كل حكاية من أمثالها أن حبيب الفتاة هو الذي ألهم الصواب ففرحت به واحتالت لإنقاذ صديقه من تبعة ضمانه لليهودي بأن تزيّت بزيّ عالم قانوني وقضت على المرابي.طالع شكسبير هذه الأسطورة من أساطير السذّج في تلك الأيام فما أجالها إجالة في ذهنه المبتكر حتى بدأ بها فصورها جملة في أحسن ما تتصور حادثة إنسانية شعرية معطياً إياها من الجدّة والندورة ما صيّرها من خرافة عامّية تقصها العجائز على أحفادها وحفائدها إلى رواية تمثيلية من أسمى الروائع التي جادت بها قرائح المبدعين في هذا الفن.

تتألف مسرحية هامْلِت- أو هامْلِت أمير الدانمارك، بحسب اسمها الأصلي الكامل- للكاتب وليام شكسبيـر، من أربعة فصول في هذه الترجمة التي أنجزها الشاعر والكاتب والمترجم الراحل خليـل مطران. ويـُرجِّـح الباحثون عموماً أن هذه الرواية كُتبت بين العـامين 1599 و1601. تبدأ رواية هامْلِت المسرحية بمشهد هامْلِت وهو يرثي والده القتيل ويعبر عن الأسى والأسف على سلوك والدته جرترود التي لم تنتظر كثيراً بعد مقتل والده لتتزوّج من عمّه كلوديوس الذي حرم هامْلِت من حقه في الملك ليصبح هو ملكاً على الدانمارك.يَظْهَر لهامْلِت طيفُ والده ويخبره أنه مات مسموماً على يد كلوديوس، ثمّ يأمر هامْلِت بالانتقام له. لكن، وعلى الرغم من حثّ الطيف لهامْلِت على الإسراع بالانتقام، يُقرّر هامْلِت التروّي والتفكير مليّاً والبحث عن دليل يؤيّد مزاعم الطيف. وبعد الكثير من الأحداث يواجه هامْلِت والدته وعمّه لتنتهي المسرحية بمأساة جماعيّة يكون الموت هو المنتصر الوحيد فيها.وعن رواية هامْلِت يقول خليل مطران ... وقد شهد جمهور الأدباء وأرباب الفن في كل بلد من بلدان العالم، أن رواية هامْلِت هي الرائعة الأولى بين الروائع الكبرى التي ولدتها قريحة شكسبير، ولهذا مُثِّلَتْ في كل مسارح الأمم من غربية وشرقية على توالي ما تناقلتها وتدارستها الأمم، وتكرر تمثيلها في كل حواضرها، وقد ساهمت مصر بحظ في الاستمتاع بمشاهدة تلك الرائعة الباهرة، فتداولتها مسارحها منذ أعوام، وما زالت في كل عام تزداد أخذاً بألباب الجمهور، كما أن الجمهور يزداد إعجاباً بمحاسنها، وإكباراً لآيات الفصاحة والبلاغة فيها.
