Taha Hussein was fortunate enough to have his eyes extinguished, but his heart remained a beacon that continued to illuminate his soul. He was that child who was overwhelmed by despair about life, leading him to contemplate suicide. But he became an extraordinary person who might never be repeated. He achieved what millions of others failed to accomplish. “The Days” is not just a personal memoir; it’s an experience that can benefit future generations. It also serves as a reminder of the state of Egyptian society in the 20th century, as well as a reminder of the decline and ignorance that characterized that era. The author left the countryside to go to Al-Azhar in search of knowledge in the field of religious studies. However, he found nothing there he desired. So he headed to the Egyptian University, where he was sent to France to continue his studies. There, he absorbed Western culture, and then returned to Egypt to spread the light of knowledge that he had acquired there. It’s the story of “the Dean of Arab Literature,” who turned disability into determination.
