The Days

Author: Taha Hussein

"And it is in this sweet, bitter, harsh, and gentle life, which he sometimes loves with the strongest love, and at other times is distressed by it with the deepest distress. Then life suddenly smiles upon him on a spring day, a smile that changes his entire life. And so he knows no loneliness and finds no desolation when he is alone with himself when night falls. How can loneliness or desolation find a way to him, and how can those thoughts reach him that used to hurt him, exhaust him, and keep him awake at night, when within him is a sweet, gentle voice that spreads righteousness and tenderness, and reads to him this or that work from the masterpieces of ancient French literature?" 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 him a role model that we look to with pride and from whom we draw inspiration. How much we need the new generations to read these works, which Dar Al-Misriah Al-Lubnaniah presents with a comprehensive translation of him, explanations of some words, and an introduction to the notable figures and places mentioned in them, by an elite group of professors; each in their field.
