When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words and Wounds of Palestine

Francesca Albanese, the first woman to serve as United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, conveys the soul of a people through ten unforgettable stories of resilience and humanity. The spirit of a place lies in the people who inhabit it, in the stories that intertwine through its streets. And this is especially true of a land like Palestine, the witness to defining historic transitions to one of the most painful chapters in contemporary history. With a voice both authoritative and deeply human, Francesca Albanese takes on the role of narrator of the ongoing conflict, starting with the stories of the people she met.

Anyone following the harrowing events that have unfolded in the Middle East and who wants to understand Palestine will discover in When the World Sleeps - a gallery of stories, characters, and places that allow us to understand what Palestine was like until recently, and what it has become today.
