"If a writer is afraid, he cannot claim to be a writer."

A collection of 30 short stories, the first edition of which was published in 1988, the year Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize, when he reached the peak of his literary brilliance.

"I don't want to die before I die."

"The False Dawn" includes a collection of enjoyable stories; this is a destitute sheikh who is over seventy and dies on the same day that he owns half a million pounds, and that is someone who tries to escape from a pursuer who is trying to take revenge on him, while this cafe, whose patrons have changed, observes the social change in Egypt from the 1920s to the 1980s.

"The era of principles is over; this is the era of migration." A new edition of the short story collection "The False Dawn" was published by Dar Al-Shorouk in 2006.
