Admirable autobiographie, Le Livre des jours est aussi, travers un rcit au fond mlancolique, une extraordinaire leon d'nergie, "l'exemple d'une russite, d'un triomphe de la volont, d'une patiente victoire de la lumire spirituelle sur les tnbres, par quoi ce livre exotique et inactuel est si noble et si rconfortant". Andr Gide

Arts & Literature

For the first time, the three-part autobiography of one of modern Egypt's greatest writers and thinkers is available in a single paperback volume. The first part, An Egyptian Childhood (1929), is full of the sounds and smells of rural Egypt. It tells of Hussein's childhood and early education in a small village in Upper Egypt, as he learns not only to come to terms with his blindness but to excel in spite of it and win a place at the prestigious Azhar University in Cairo. The second part, The Stream of Days: A Student at the Azhar (1939), is an enthralling picture of student life in Egypt in the early 1900s, and the record of the growth of an unusually gifted personality. More than forty years later, Hussein published A Passage to France (1973), carrying the story on to his final attainment of a doctorate at the Sorbonne, a saga of perseverance in the face of daunting odds.

The Days: His Autobiography in Three Parts

The American University in Cairo Press

A unique work of fiction in modern Arabic literature. It  is a romantic story about the triumph of love over revenge. It  describes the social taboos of the time and how one girl eventually  overcomes them. Highly poetic style with deep insight into the human  heart.
