Qusay Al-Hussein, Professor Abdel-Ghani Talis gathered all his literary, cognitive, critical, and poetic powers to embark on the difficult adventure in a well, or even in a sea, or even at the bottom of the ocean, and finished his work, “Secrets of Treasures between Al-Rahbani and Fairouz,” which was published by “Dar Nelson,” and it was his tool. In addition, all the tools were at his disposal, as he found that the Rahbani scholar needed skill, precision, and follow-up, and to return to memory and delve into it, what he needed most was reading in office and notebook details.
