Description
The pages of this book take its reader on a journey through the orbits that lead the collective Arab and Egyptian mind into a state of collective bewilderment, inevitably resulting in a general state of madness. This madness stems from the clamor of our thoughts revolving around illusory themes and fanciful beliefs, confirmed only by a distorted official history. The book’s seven chapters strive to dispel these illusions and ignite the reader’s passion to reconsider the myths that have captivated minds. These myths form the basis of a distorted consciousness that resorts to fallacies to achieve the ambitions of those who seek to keep people ignorant in order to tighten their grip on them and ultimately control them completely. While preparing this book, the words of Imad al-Isfahani kept ringing in my ears and echoing deep within me. This insightful man said: “No one has ever written a book and then returned to it (after a while) without saying: ‘If I had changed this, it would have been better,’ or ‘If I had amended that, it would have been more pleasing.’ This is proof of the pervasive imperfection of humankind.” This is a profound meaning; had its author been more forthright, he would have concluded his statement with: “This is evidence of the author’s pursuit of an impossible perfection.”
