Sattih nights

Ibrahim, the poet of the Nile, one of the books of the early Arab narration published in 1906. He belongs to the first stage of the life of the modern Arab narration. The accounts of this era are generally characterized by being busy with the issue of reform and renaissance. And by the branching of this issue from the issue of the relationship with the West and the relationship in particular, and the question of the great renaissance, which is: How is the reform? And his answers that range from self -return, go to the Western model, or reconcile them on the basis of self -confidence. Hafez Ibrahim here simulates in his book the hadith of Issa bin Hisham, but to a lesser degree in imagination, as the narrator in this work is one of the Nile sons who meets with the surface of one of the ancient Arab priests. The book came in the form of artistic prose, taking a form closer to the maqamah, the place is fixed and the dialogue is the dominant feature without real events. Hafez relied on this work on the reporting method, and he did not imagine, so the characters he was exposed to in his book It does not have a real existence, but the writer is limited to presenting it to the windows through which we look at his ideas. Through this work, Hafez directed a social criticism of the prevailing morals and customs, in the folds of his description of the situation of the meeting in Egypt during that period, where the chapters of the book touched on various social and literary problems. Among them were problems related to foreign privileges, literary issues, and other colors of criticism Social and literary.
