People I knew

Author's name: Hussein Ahmed Amin

In the book, we find twenty-six biographies and stories of figures who played an important role in the author's life and left an unforgettable impact on him over a period of nearly seventy years. The author spoke about them based on what he personally saw and experienced with them, in terms of situations and stories. He recounted the good and bad aspects as an impartial observer, observing the event without making judgments about it. He also devoted some paragraphs to details that define the character and give it dimensions other than those we may hear or read about. This brought the image to life in a way no one else had before. Here are pictures of writers, thinkers, and philosophers, film directors, actors, heads of state, politicians, and ambassadors, as well as Islamic preachers, secularists, broadcasters, and critics. When the reader reads them, they will be forever imprinted in his mind.
