In the past, the Arab poet said: “My boyfriend, the earth is both miserable and happy.” And at a time when our country is still moving at a confident pace, taking into account the parties and components, customs and legacies, the novelist Turki Al-Hamad used to embrace the responsibility of the intellectual belonging to him, preferring to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.
Al-Hamad ventured to issue the trilogy (Aspects of Deserted Alleys); Which consists of three novels (Al-Shumaisi, Al-Aadamah, Al-Karadeeb) in 1995, and it sparked a lot of controversy and intensity in the reactions to raising and addressing issues of social sensitivity, but Abu Tariq carried his spirit on the covers of his titles as he broke a taboo that no one before him thought of breaking. , And if he was not spared from discussions and riots that extend and rebound quickly, and the intestines of some did not bear this heavy and fatty meal at the time, then they demanded that the writer be excommunicated and his blood wasted because of what they described as constants.
Al-Adamah neighborhood is one of the old neighborhoods in the city of Dammam, and the neighborhood was previously the center of notables, merchants, and writers of the Economic City, and it witnessed the beginnings of the renaissance in the eastern region, starting with the arrival of Aramco to the region in the year 1357 AH, and its contribution in a pioneering role with the state in establishing important vital projects that benefited the people of Dammam and its residents in That period.
Al-Adamah has been inhabited by kings, princes, and senior officials in the Kingdom, and it has the old royal palace. It was also inhabited by the popular artist Bashir Hamad Shanan, as he sang “I walk in Al-Adamah,” and his popularity increased.
