The sacred history of solitude and solitariness: Essays

Written by Khaled Hafdhi

Narrated by Frank Meaden

Solitude offers us that other space of thinking, another modality where we can meet different ingredients of perfection. The author is letting his pen engrave what the fuel of the holy history of solitude may inspire, echoing as much lonesome voices from the past with a never ending thirst to offer the best in us.

Solitude was there for us all the time long the human history but we tend to ignore it. Solus was there for us with a special complex effect inside everyone, with a confusion reflected in our language and reality, a conscious fact that we undergo even when we are not alone evolving many ambiguities: pain and serenity, escape and encounter, anxiety and meditation, refuge and curse and many more complex states.

Khaled Hafdhi

Khaled Hafdhi is an experienced secondary English teacher in Tunisian schools. He was born in 1975 in El-Hamma, Gabes, in the South of Tunisia. He was attracted by English literature since he was a very young student though the Tunisian culture is poor in terms of English books. Tunisia is a francophone country, and English is a third language.

He ended his academic studies by obtaining a maîtrise in the English language and literature. He has started teaching English since the year 2000, but his career as an English writer had started so long before—when he was a student. He began the writing of his first novel, entitled Alone Everywhere, in 1998, and it was achieved in 2013. He is a playwright as well as a poet. He published his play, entitled I Can’t Stand Alone, and his first collection of poems, entitled Orphan Meditations, in 2015.
