This collection brings together 20 essays by Tawfiq al-Hakim (1898-1987), an Arabic dramatist, novelist, and short story writer. He discusses the cultural, artistic, and intellectual
connections and barriers between the old and young generations in Egyptian society and focuses on the role of the young in its development and the importance of the family. He addresses
generational aspects, the responsibilities of young writers, the need for honesty, and the need for a greater sense of morality. The collection was originally published in Arabic as Thawrat
Elshabaab in 1984. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
