He was born in 1937 and died in 2006.He became supreme ruler of Iraq in 1979. Saddam Hussein was famed for strengthening Iraq military and the entire oil industry. In addition, he is known and remembered for brutality in the effort to maintain power. For these crimes, he was executed in 2006 by the Iraq government after he was found guilty and charged of genocide and crimes against humanity. He was also an author having written four Saddam Hussein books.
Saddam published a total of four books and several poems. His work was published anonymously with a pen name the author. Some of his books were included in the syllabus for Iraqi schools. However, after his death, both official and bootleg copies of the books sold out. The novels by the former Iraqi ruler include Men and City, Begone, Demons, Zabibah and the King and The Fortified Castle.
Saddams first novel is Zabibah and the King that is a romance novel and in 2000 published anonymously. Although mainly a romance novel, it is also an allegory and political metaphor. Hussein presents himself as the hero, the Arab while Zabibah is the people of Iraq. Her character is a beautiful woman married by unloving man and who is also the Arabs love interest.
The relationship between Zabibah and her husband is unloving and cruel. At one point he rapes her, which is believed to represent Iraqs invasion. As a result, the husband is an allegory to the United States. Hezkel, Nuri and Shemel represent other perceived enemies of Iraq such as Israel, Jews and merchants. The novel sold over a million copies and proceeds donated to charity.
The other novel authored by the former Iraq leader is Men and the City. Published in 2002, it is third of his books to be published. Men and the City is slightly different from the others as it is more of an autobiography. It tells the story of Husseins grandfather and his war to defeat the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. Some people say that this book was ghostwritten but evidence exists to dispute this.
The Fortified Castle is Husseins third novel. Like most of the others, it is a political metaphor and allegory. Published in 2001, it is about the delayed wedding of the Iraq protagonist to a Kurdish girl. The protagonist, Sabah is a war hero from the Iran-Iraq war. The fortified castle makes a reference to Iraq with many proposals to divide its wealth.
Begone, Demons, a basically a translation of Get out of here while Cursed You is the fourth but also last novel authored by Saddam. It was written in 2003 in anticipation of the Iraq war. It got published much later in 2006 in Tokyo by a Japanese-based publisher. Since then, it has only been translated into Turkish and no other translations exist.
The four materials authored by Saddam Hussein were very significant to him. This is true because they were written and published at a time when his political demise had begun. They show hope, strength and a bit of ignorance by a leader who depicts himself as a hero in his work.
