Under the green lamp

Author's name: Tawfiq Al-Hakim

"Under the Green Lamp" is an intellectual arena that encourages knowledge, in which Al-Hakim brings together a variety of penetrating opinions and reflections on intellectual issues and topics of art and literature. He takes his reader on a journey from East to West, from history to mythology, from dreams to reality. He takes them on an extremely enjoyable journey, encountering Al-Jahiz and his literature, Romeo and Juliet, Ferdowsi al-Tusi, and Scheherazade. He also writes about encouraging young people to write and create, the state's responsibility towards art, and women in literature! All of this is presented in concentrated capsules, abundant in enjoyment and benefit. Al-Hakim always reconsidered and overturned many of the opinions and ideas he disseminated in his articles. Here, through these amazing chapters, Al-Hakim practices his message of enlightenment, alongside the duty of writing, creating, and pure innovation, as he extends his hand as much as possible to those thirsting for knowledge, aspiring to cross the thresholds and doors into the spaces of thought, art, and innovation.
