The Mandaeans
secret of survival and life is victorious
A book by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki.
This book is written in Arabic and speaks about the Mandaean diaspora and the many genocides they have faced throughout their history. About living and succeeding in surviving in our modern times. Ardwan Al-Sabti did the design for this book cover. The cover is focused on the times they spent in the beautiful nature of the Marshes in south Iraq and the sacrifices they had to make to be the original inhabitants of this land. This book cover is designed in the ancient Mandaic illustrative style, based on the minimal graphics and miniatures in the Mandaean manuscripts.
REVIEWED BY AUTHOR MR. MAJID AL-MUBARAKI:
Graphic Designer Ardwan Alsabti responded without hesitation to my request to design a cover for my book:" The Mandaeans: Secret of survival and life is victorious". Once Ardwan absorbed the book idea, representing the Mandaeans' suffering, the harshness of life, and persecution towards them from marsh Arab tribal leaders and their followers.
Ardwan has illustrated the context using classic Mandaean style imagery; he produced beautiful work and faithfully rendered expression clear to the reader.
His unique specialism and understanding of the Mandaic illustrative style brought our artistic heritage back to life in a modern way.
As this book's author, I sincerely appreciate and respect Ardwan. I wish him great happiness in the progression of his artistic career.
