A rural doctor - Muhammad Al-Mansi Qandil

This novel is a new experience in writing about the hidden world of the Egyptian countryside, and an attempt to penetrate the primitive crust that surrounds it and that has accumulated over thousands of years, through the story of a young rural doctor who is subjected to a severe experience at the beginning of his life, so he begins a new journey to an isolated village in Upper Egypt.

There he suffers from loneliness before he finds himself immersed in the details of the daily life of the small village lying on the edge of the desert. He falls in love with the nurse, but a surprise awaits him.

"A rural doctor" is the experience of a doctor who discovers that primitive laws still prevail, and that there is an absolute authority that relies on it and derives its strength from distant roots. It is a novel about love, desire and despair, about a village that reduces the world, in which people, gypsies and ruling powers struggle, and its hidden memory is filled with the layers of accumulated Egyptian time.
