I read to you .. The sons of the Nile to Mohammed Marmadok Baktal .. History of Egypt with British eyes

culture

Mohammad Marmadok Bektal was born in 1875 and died in 1936. He is a British traveler who specializes in the Islamic religion. He was famous for his translation of the meanings of the Holy Quran into English, which he wrote in a literary literary style.

He was a dramatist, journalist and religious and political leader who announced his conversion from Christianity to Islam in dramatic dramatic fashion after presenting a speech on "Islam and Progress" on November 29, 1917. He studied the Orient and published many articles and novels about him. Has received approval and approval of Al-Azhar, and considered by some as a great literary achievement. The legacy of Bactal continues to receive much attention from new Muslims in particular.

In his book "Sons of the Nile," which was translated from the Egyptian-Lebanese Library, by Samir Mahfouz Bashir, we find ourselves in front of a panorama of scenes, events and personalities. The author's deep psychological connection of time and place enables him to blend brilliantly between the main thread of his novel, In the life of Egypt, before the English occupation of it, and the dramatic line presented to us by prominent public figures, Egyptian and non-Egyptian, have joined together to make history a faithful servant of literature, when it records the lives of people and their feelings and the paths of their lives, on the contrast of those moments recorded by the novel. Exerting so great effort to make us forget – many times translation – we work in front of an interpreter, while the smallest reveal what is the depth of the feelings of love and separation, the homeland and the success and failure ..

We have succeeded together (history and literature) to give us the pleasure that makes us live that time, rejoice with its characters when you rejoice, and we are in the fields of farmers, and the streets of the Euphrates and Ismailia (Liberation) and watch the ships of Sally, the crash of Alexandria. To learn an eternal lesson, that Egypt is immortal.
