? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Ever wondered where all the old gods have gone? Look no further than American Godsby renowned storyteller Neil Gaiman. He posits some of ancient mythology’s mightiest deities are — unbeknownst to the human race — living side-by-side to us mere mortals after being left behind by immigrants who brought them to America and later pursued “newer” gods. Through the eyes of Shadow Moon — a regular joe bewitched by the mysterious and uncannily one-eyed Mr. Wednesday (can you guess who?) — Gaiman takes you on a supernatural journey to meet several gods, including Esther, Anubis, and Balqis (to name a few) on their epic battle for survival against irrelevance and anonymity. American Gods is also available in Arabic, translated by Hisham Fahmy.
