Culture and the cut bridges

The book consists of two parts, the first titled "Cultural Deprivation Source of Terrorism and Despotism," and the second titled "Isolated Islands and Cut Bridges," and between them a 16-page booklet with colored illustrations by artists from different generations and trends as a model of disconnection with the audience within various cultural creations. The book is 282 pages long, in large size, with a cover featuring one of Naguib's oil paintings, which he drew in 1982. The author says: "The book represents my view of the cultural crisis in Egypt in its various aspects throughout my long career in cultural work since the sixties, and it discusses the relationship between the intellectual and authority, and the masses, and social, political, and global transformations, and examines the relationship between commitment and modernity, and the role of intellectuals in change and progress, some of his articles having been published in specialized magazines over the years alongside other studies published for the first time."
