📖💎 ( 537 ) The Beggar
F. M. Esfandiary | First Edition, 1965 | Inscribed by the author to Mohamed Hassanein Heikal
A parable of justice, inscribed by its author to the most celebrated Arab editor of his era.
What makes this copy special is a handwritten inscription by F. M. Esfandiary to Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, then editor-in-chief of Al-Ahram, dated September 1965, the year of publication: "For Mr. Hassanein Heikal — dynamic editor, creative thinker. Best wishes in your illustrious work." A first edition that links an Iranian-born novelist writing in English with the leading figure of Arab journalism.
On the surface, The Beggar tells the story of Ali, a crippled beggar who sits on his dolly in the busy street of an Arab village, receiving alms given out of guilt, need, contempt and fear. Beneath the surface it is an allegory on what the author calls "the absurdity of punishment". Esfandiary, who later became known as the futurist FM-2030, wrote it after his first novel, Day of Sacrifice.
