It is said that the spirit of Beirut is embodied in a genie that cannot be destroyed unless the city itself is destroyed… but this has yet to be proved.
In the 1970s, Beirut is a kaleidoscope of contrasting communities, their members living in relative harmony. But the advent of war threatens to disrupt this fragile balance.
“The Genie of Beirut” is a fictionalized three-volume account of the gradual destruction of the city, its sensitive portrayal of the catastrophe owing to the gentle and understated gravity of journalist Sélim Nassib’s text and the delicate luminosity of Léna Merhej’s illustrations.
