The distinguished writer Kamel Al-Kilani draws inspiration from the stories of the "City of Glass", what history has narrated, and what is filled with legends about the invention of glass, as there are many facts that researchers neglected to record, or were recorded and then time scattered their records, so they were lost in the corners of oblivion. One of these unknown facts, which God did not know about, is "the invention of glass."
In each story of this collection, the writer presents a story that combines imagination and legend, starting with Phoenician history, and how the Phoenicians discovered the material glass, passing through the city of "Thebes", that great Egyptian city, which was called "the city of glass" for thousands of years, all the way to The Venetian legend about glass. The writer's style is characterized by simplicity, richness, and flow of information about a scientific issue that baffles the minds of children and young people, so he provides easy and entertaining answers at the same time.
