Anyway, I'll give you a sneak preview of the story I'm writing. This is the introduction to the story, which I don't have a title for it yet.
Chapter One
Raison d'être
Paris; the city of lights. The city of beauty and marvelous streets. Where cafés are scattered all over it, where people have fun just by walking up and down the Champs-Elysées. The city where kindness still exists between people, where good manners are practiced all the time.
The capital of France, the mixture of the old and the new in a magnificent harmony. The city reeks of arts and artists, for Paris has been and still is the inspiration of everyone who ever set a foot in it. The dream of many others who want to indulge themselves into its atmosphere and make the city their own muse.
The city where you can gaze into La Gioconda’s eyes, the Florentine noblewoman whose portrait was painted by none other than the infamous genius Leonardo da Vinci. The portrayal is widely known as the Mona Lisa with its captivating smile that has stirred commentary since 1504.
Paris the city of love; where you can almost feel it in the air. Wherever you may look you will find couples holding hands, hugging and kissing. Not to mention that the language of romance is floating so soothingly all around, for French is truly the language of passion. The language that has attracted so many people to it, not only because it is the language of love, but also because it opens the doors to the brilliant and rich French literature.
Though he had already read Les Miserable in English, he knew that when you translate anything something gets lost in between the two works. He wanted to read Victor Hugo’s novels, the way Mr. Hugo wrote them. Still that was not why Sager Najem came to Paris: he did not come for a French course. Instead he came for a one-month business visit to Future Aeronautics Company.
He had been chosen by his company, Falcon Wings Corporation, to represent them abroad, not only because he was their best man for this job, but also because he was completely available. He was free, totally unattached to any commitments whatsoever. No wife, no girlfriend and no children. So the executives thought he’d be the right guy for such a task.
And so he left to Paris.
That's all for now, what do you think of it?
