The days

About the book Al-Ayyam: It was destined for "Taha Hussein" that his sight be extinguished, but his heart was a lantern that illuminated his heart. He is that child whom despair of life possessed and drove to suicide, then transformed into an exceptional personality that perhaps will not be repeated, and achieved what millions of the sighted could not. "Al-Ayyam" is not just an autobiography, but a experience that can benefit successive generations, as well as serve to study the conditions of Egyptian society in the twentieth century, and to understand its deterioration and the spread of ignorance within it. The author left the countryside to Al-Azhar in search of Islamic knowledge, but he did not find his goal there, so he turned to the Egyptian university, which sent him to France to complete his studies, so he drank from Western culture, and returned to Egypt to spread the light of knowledge he received. It is the experience of "Dean of Arab Literature" who turned disability into will.
