Author's name: Taha Hussein

He was reassured that the world ended on his right with this canal, which was only a few steps away from him. Why not, since he could not see the width of this canal, and he did not appreciate that this width was so small that an energetic young man could leap from one edge to the other. He did not appreciate that the lives of people, animals, and plants were connected behind this canal in the same way that they were without it. He did not appreciate that a man could cross this full canal without the water reaching his armpits. He did not realize that the water would be cut off from this canal from time to time, and it turned out to be a rectangular hole where the boys played, searching in its soft ground for the small fish left behind, which died due to the water being cut off. Taha Hussein Through this series, we recall the creative and historical works and critical studies of the Dean of Arabic Literature - Dr. Taha Hussein, which made their author a model we look to with pride and draw inspiration from his experience.
