Returning to Haifa
It embodies Kanafani's love for returning to his country, as it takes place mostly on the way to Haifa when Saeed and his wife decide to go there, and inspect their house, which they left with a baby child during the Battle of Haifa in 1948. The novel gives great space to the golden concept of patriotism and citizenship and shows through association the harshness of the circumstances under which It led to the tragedy of the Saeed family and presents a different concept than the previously prevailing meaning of homeland in Palestinian discourse. The book Returning to Haifa was covered in two cinematic works, the first bearing the same title as the novel, directed by Qasim Hawal, and produced by the Land Foundation for Film Production in 1981 AD. The film won four international awards, the second titled "The Remaining," directed by Iranian Seif Allah Dad and produced by Iranian-Syrian in 1994. The story was also covered in a television work by Syrian director Basil Al-Khatib and in a Jordanian theatrical work.
