From afar - Taha Hussein

A brief about the book "From Afar" - Taha Hussein: From a distant time and place, Taha Hussein directed his words to his contemporaries, and their echo continues to resonate until today. The book in our hands conveys a picture of Egyptian reality in the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, and it was portrayed by the "Dean of Arab Literature" through a conscious lens, which moves its focus away and closer to encompass the full image, then involves the reader in studying and analyzing that image; so that reading results in an intellectual vision that distinguishes it, and serves as a lesson for successive generations across ages. From Paris, Belgium, and many of his travels, the Dean wrote his reflections inspired by movement and alienation, and the differing cultures he experienced allowed him to reconsider many cultural and political issues, and to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between science and religion, with the ability to distinguish between seriousness and humor.
