Empty string

The "self" is the central character of the novelist Sonallah Ibrahim, which emerged from the chaos of life to revive his imagination and feed his mind with a thousand images... It is from reality... but it flows into the events of the novel... so that the reality of its presence has a thousand meanings and interpretations... The "self" is the symbol through which Sonallah Ibrahim tried to depict Egyptian society, which is teeming with values and beliefs that control his mind and his life... a society burdened by the weights of economic, social, and political conditions, and he presents its facts taken from Egyptian newspapers, both official and opposition, to reflect the overall media atmosphere that surrounded the fates of his characters and influenced them... In "self," imagination and reality intertwine... symbolism and truth to embody human dimensions expressed by Sonallah Ibrahim in a style that brings the "self" closer to every self... it is the hidden truth behind the self.
