twelve women

Author's name: Youssef El Sebaei

Many view women as a complex puzzle that is difficult to understand. Some writers have sought to delve into their mysterious world, attempting to uncover its secrets, as the great author Youssef El Sebaei did in this collection of short stories. El Sebaei presents twelve models of women who undergo experiences that reveal their inner selves, contemplating the motivations of his heroines and meticulously explaining their psychological struggles. He tells of the jealous woman, the lost woman, the loser, the bereaved woman, and others. Nevertheless, El Sebaei admits that he is unable to fully understand women. Rather, he finds himself floundering and trembling at the mere glance of an eye or the gentle touch of a hand. He confronts the mystery through writing and continues to try.
