The second part, 'The Stream of Days: A Student at the Azhar (1929), is an enthralling picture of student life in Egypt in the early 1900's, and the record of the growth of an unusually gifted personality.
More than forty years later, Hussein published 'A Passage to France' (1973), carrying the story on to his final attainment of a doctorate at the Sorbonne, a saga of preseverance in the face of daunting odds.
Taha Hussein (1889 - 1973), blind from early childhood, rose from humble beginnings to pursue a distinguished career in Egyptian public life (he was at one time Minister of Education). But he was most influential through his voluminous, varied, and controversial writings. He was unofficially known as the 'Dean of Arabic Letters,' and the distinguished Egyptian critic Louis Awad described his as 'the greatest single intellectual and cultural influence on the literature of his period.'
