The dreams of the recovery period

A unique book in its subject and style, Naguib Mahfouz concluded his creative journey with writing texts that depict snippets and shades of his dreams that he saw during the convalescence period that followed his stabbing by extremists, adding to them his imagined dreams surrounded by symbols. The dreams of the convalescence period were translated into French and English, and its English translator, Raymond Stock, mentioned that the dreams carry more of Mahfouz's autobiographical biography than the echoes of the autobiography. It was also discussed by the great psychiatrist Yahya Rakhawi in his book "On the Nature of Dreams and Creativity," analyzing those texts psychologically and commenting on them from the perspective of psychology and humanities.
