The Morning and Evening Talk - Naguib Mahfouz

It is the story of every creature and human on the face of the earth... the same beginning and end... no boy differs from a man, a woman, or a girl no matter how much the events differ and vary. This is "Ahmed Atta Al-Marakibi," the giant with the tall, flat body... who carries out tasks and undertakes responsibilities and ultimately returns, burdened with fatigue and closes his eyes, giving his soul at midnight. Also, "Halim Abdul-Azim Dawood," born in the embrace of luxury and wealth, defeated by the illness that led him to death... and "Friend," "Rashwana," "Muawiya," "Baligh"... and others whose lives are reviewed in this creative book by Naguib Mahfouz. Through portraying them, he depicts the lives of all humans... and declares it loudly and clearly, with no escape... declaring that life, as it begins with the cry of a newborn, ends with the gasp of death... These stories were gathered from family, relatives, fathers, and sons to translate this idea and embody it before the reader of the story... And in the simplicity of the idea and the repetition of its events with his character... was the depth of philosophy and its insistence that the Nobel laureate wanted... that it is not just the story of some people, but the story of life and death, and the philosophy from which it emanates, and the eloquence that shapes the beads of events and pearls of words in a mixture that produced a new, unusual drink that we will not tire of enjoying sip after sip.
