Description
In the wake of a transformative revolution, a man finds himself adrift, unable to reconcile his inner world with the changing landscape around him. His search for meaning leads him down a path of self-destruction, sacrificing his career and family for fleeting connections that only deepen his profound sense of alienation. This poignant narrative explores the devastating consequences of irrelevance and the desperate human need for belonging in a world that no longer seems to recognize you. Mahfouz masterfully crafts a story of psychological unraveling, offering a powerful commentary on personal identity and societal upheaval.
