The Buried Circles of Babylon

On the search for a lost queen, an international archaeological team arrives in the desert to find the remnants of the legendary Amytis, but for Bako, a Kurdish translator far from his mountain homeland, the excavation uncovers something far more unsettling.

Beneath the desert lies not only the grandeur of an ancient empire, but mass graves etched into the earth in patterns as haunting as they are unexplained!

Elevating reality with his imaginative writing, Iraqi Kurdish novelist Omar Said crafts a novel where time loses its meaning. Originally written in Kurdish and now translated into English, "The Buried Circles of Babylon" reaches beyond its origins to speak to readers everywhere.

For readers of global literature, this is a haunting journey into the hidden ties between the grandeur of Babylon and the shadows of the Anfal campaign. A remarkable example of Kurdish literature, where history, memory, and imagination converge in a search for understanding.
