Raghda Hassan describes in detail her days in jail, torture parties, nail pulling, transfer to the hospital, and return to prison, as well as injuries to her back and feet and a swollen head. Raghda combined the story and the poem in her novel "Where there is no Damascus there," telling a story about sailors, their boats of revolution and rebellion, and their seas of longing and knowledge, about legends that summed up the meaning and truth of the Syrian in the wounds of the body and the wrinkles of the smile, as described in the introduction.
