This book is one of the most enjoyable autobiographies that one can read throughout their life. Al-Qadah wanted to write about himself, but he wrote about everything that happens in life. This autobiography is full of life, just as it is also full of death. Al-Qadah began writing about the village, childhood, parents, and how his thoughts and feelings began to take shape. He also described his library, his writings, and his love for reading. He talked about his work in the government, his resignation, and the state of the Arabs and the nation. Al-Qadah died before finishing the book he planned to write. Therefore, this autobiography is considered one of the most honest autobiographies ever written. It starts with the author’s life and ends with his death… literally.
