Edmond Jabes, born in Egypt to a Jewish family, spent most of his life in exile, which strongly influenced his work. His writing is characterized by fragmentation, poetry, and a deep immersion in the Jewish tradition. In his works, Jabes constantly questions the limits of language and the possibilities of expressing experience. "The Book of Similarities" is an attempt to capture the inexpressible and to face the mystery of existence.

"The Book of Similarities" is not only a collection of aphorisms and poetic fragments, but above all an invitation to dialogue with the author and one's own interior. Jabes provokes thought, forces one to ask questions and seek answers in the labyrinth of words. It is a reading for those who are not afraid of intellectual and spiritual challenges, for those who want to explore the mysteries of existence and find meaning in the chaos of the world.

"If I was El, or the last book, I put the last dot of the Book of Questions, then with the Book of Similarities perhaps the book of a certain life in the book ends; but where have I strayed? All life colliding with eternity is only a short life without meaning." These words of Edmond Jabes are the key to understanding his work and the message he wants to convey to readers. It is an invitation to a journey into oneself and to search for meaning in a world that is constantly changing and surprising.
