Echo of forgetfulness

My friend laughed for a long time, but his hand never stopped planning. He knew well that I do not think about investment. And my hope was to establish a popular rest stop built on memories and dreams, and it would serve as an escape from the worries and pressures of life, and when it is furnished and decorated from Khan El Khalili shops, it would be a masterpiece. In this enjoyable story collection, Naguib Mahfouz narrates to us many lively and vibrant scenes characteristic of the Egyptian neighborhood, and they are reflected between the lines full of life and details; in "The Rose Garden," the death of Hamza Qandeel revealed many concepts kept by the neighborhood regarding the sanctity of the dead, which is part of the sanctity of religion. In "Echo of Forgetfulness," the young fighter "Ambar" did not forget the actions of the youth and the tyranny he used to have before his heart was guided to faith and he knew the way of God, so he returned to practice these actions with his followers who walked on his path, but this time with white robes and turbans, under the shouts of "Allahu Akbar." In "Climbing to the Moon," the dream of authenticity and returning to the old, which resembles us, is manifested. And other details unique to Naguib Mahfouz's neighborhood.
