Product description
Is there a mirror that shows a person the inner self and the inner selves of others? "Taha Hussein," the blind writer; an ordinary mirror reflecting the falling light on it would not have been enough for him, but he was able to invent an extraordinary mirror that reflects the souls presented to it, trying to show the sighted — through his mirror — what he sees with his inner eye, while their eyes are blind to it. Just as physical mirrors show the image as if it is in another dimension, smaller or larger than its natural size, and sometimes upside down, Taha Hussein's literary mirror plays its game; it shows parts of the human concern reflected in the form of messages; the first part is attributed to al-Jahiz with a doubtful attribution, and the second part is attributed to an unknown writer, writing to an unknown friend, and only the conscience appears clear, illuminated by the mirror and the skill of the pen.
