From our contemporary literature

Between the old and the new, between originality and contemporary, the eyes of critics seek, and comparisons are complicated. And "Taha Hussein", the writer and critic who explored the mothers of heritage books, did not indulge in the past, the complete indulgence that he puts in isolation from his present, but was concerned with following up, evaluating and evaluating the modern literary movement; He is in his book, which is in our hands, provides distinguished critical reviews of a number of books written by his contemporaries, such as: Muhammad Hussein Heikal and his story "This is how I was created", Najib Mahfouz and his novel "between the two palaces", Abdullah Al -Faisal and his office "and the neighborhood of deprivation", and the wealth of Abaza and his novel "Harb of the days". The author also discusses literary and critical issues such as renewal in poetry, realism as literary doctrine, the rigidity and renewal of the language, the development of literary taste, as it is criticized to perform the Arabic language councils.
