The Gone Age, Al-Mazni’s cognitive journey from reading to writing
This is a luxurious biography of knowledge of a style other than what was composed, combining the sweetness of the statement to the circumstance of the soul to the wisdom of a lifetime, in which there is a lesson and experience, pleasure and benefit, and impressive colors of rare frankness, and a gentle lifting of the veil on the secrets of an anxious human soul, and witnessing them from close up, written by a skilled craftsman. He explained it well, and he was fascinated in revealing its secrets, influenced by the stories and narratives of the Russians that he accompanied for a long time, and their impact on him was great. A biography that does not lack honesty, which is lacking in many autobiographies. Rather, it is a revealing mirror of the soul of its owner in his contentment and anger, his arrogance and humility, his joy in what he has done and his regret in what he neglected. He makes mistakes and confesses, does good and brags, does not care about the reader’s opinion of him, and does not pay attention to the world’s position on him. Everything is so insignificant to him that he does not care about anything, or cares about how it will be, or regrets something that has passed, or looks forward to what is coming, as he says about himself. Who do you think of the great writers would dare to admit that he does not understand philosophy, or to admit that he is re-reading Arabic literature again because he was in a hurry to read it the first time, or to declare that he writes for bread and not for literature, or to openly abandon poetry when he was numbered among the poets of his time because he saw himself? Not from his family? Who among them allows himself to acknowledge the credit for guiding one of his peers, or even his opponents and enemies? Forget the great writers, how many ordinary people admit their mistakes and retreat from the foolishness of their youth? The surprises Al-Mazni will receive in this book are endless!
