As New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Kurdish. 216 p. Duyemîn Romana Eta Nehayî, "Balindeyên Li Ber Bê" di nav wesanên Avesta de derket. Roman ji aliyê Besam Mistefa ve ji soarnî bo kurmancî hatiye wergerandin. Berî bi salekê yekem romana Eta Nehayî, Gulên Soran jî bi kurmancî çap bûbû û xwendevanên kurdî jê hez kiribûn. Hasim Ahmedzade, di "Romana Kurdî û Nasname" de, vê romanê wek romana herî zehmet a Nehayî nîsan dide: "Di romana xwe ya duyem, "Balindekanî Dem Ba" de Eta Nehayî serî li teknîkek vebêjiyê ya bêtir tevlihev dide û ev yek zehmet dike ku mirov romanê xulase bike. Roman vebêjek paralel a du jiyan û qederên ku pirr disibin hev û nêzî hevdû ne. Bi rastî, mirov dikare bibêje herdu vebêj du wech an du rêbazên vegotina yek û eyn çîrokê ne. Herdu vebêj wek jinûdetarîfkirineke hûrgilî ya demên borî xuya dikin. Romanê, digel taybetmendiyên wê yên têra xwe wêjeyî û estetîk, misyonek siyasî jî hilgirtiye. (.) Di herdu vebêjan de jî leheng, Mihrîban û Ferhad dimrin. Tenê vebêjerê çîrokê, "Ez"ê xeyalî sax e. Bi gotineke din lehengên din afirînerên ev "Ez"ê xeyalî ne ku bi sopandina jiyanên Mihrîban û Ferhad dixwaze serpêhatiyên jibîrbûyî yên nifsekî binivîsîne ku beriya extiyar bibin teqawid bûne. (.) .Qedera Efsane û Kalê û taliya wan a trajîk, di dema "Balindekanî Dam Ba" an "nifsê jibîrbûyî" de sert û mercên dilsewat û qedera ku jinan helgirtine nîsan dide."

"Drawn from the French, Irish and British oral tradition of the people who first settled Canada, these tales were transformed by the settlers' encounter with the new land. Ture fairy tales, they document the collision of the "normal world" with the mysterious and irrational world of faerie, and confirm that Canada has its own rich magic tradition."
