This is the opening volume of Taha Hussein's autobiography. Taha Hussein (1889-1973) had qualities of mind and character that enabled him to overcome the handicaps of blindness and humble birth and to pursue a distinguished career in public life. One-time Egyptian Minister of Education, he was most influential through his controversial writings, which earned him the unofficial title of "Dean of Arabic Letters".
