On the margins of the biography

If this book can make young people love reading biographies especially, and old Arabic literature in general, and seek artistic enjoyment in its fertile pages, then I am truly happy, truly successful to love the things I love, and prefer them to myself. If this book can instill in the souls of young people a love for the original Arab life, and draw their attention to the beauty in its simplicity and ease, which is no less magnificent or penetrating to the hearts than the beauty they find in complex modern life, then I am happy, successful for some of what I want.
