South and east trips and visions

This unique book takes us by Mohamed Al-Makhzangy, with the language of the writer and the curiosity of the journalist, to distant lands spread across the world map. It is a collection of journalistic exploratory journeys that, at the time of publication, were considered a breakthrough in the Arab journalism world. Al-Makhzangy explores in this book small and large countries, following the conditions of their people, and how factors of history and geography influenced them. Each developed a culture different from the other, and they presented a form of brotherhood among humans with their peers and with nature around them. As much as he searches for the political factors that pose challenges to these peoples at the moment he conducted the journey, he also reveals the resistance to racism in South Africa and the rising smoke from under the rubble of Bosnia after the war. However, the most attractive aspect is the grand vision that Al-Makhzangy derived from all his journeys, which led him to give his book the title "South and East." His clear passion for the south and east is explained by the author as follows: There is a spiritual philosophy, a captivating and compassionate vision of the peoples and lands of the south and east. I opened my eyes as much as possible to catch these visions and reflect on them in the mirror of my soul. These were mirrored visions, perhaps the most distinctive feature of these explorations from a technical perspective in the texts of the journey or the writing of the journey. That is why they were journeys and visions. I hope they are enjoyable and beneficial for those who engage with them.
