It seems impossible for a blind child from childhood to grow up and become a world-renowned great writer, but in real life it does happen, he is the famous Egyptian writer and literary critic Tah Hussein.

Taha Hussein was born on November 14, 1889, in a small village near the small town of Magaca on the southern Nile River on the left bank of Egypt. His father worked as an employee in a sugar company, had low wages, had a lot of children, and lived extremely hard. Taha was intelligent and lively from childhood, and was blind at 3 years of age because of an unfortunate eye disease. But Taha never surrendered to fate, and he fought for his destiny with a strong will. He started by reading the Qur¡¯an, overcame difficulty, studied stubbornly, and at the age of 25 received a Ph.D. degree at the Egyptian University. Then he returned to France to study, and asked a French girl to teach him French, and read books for him.

After the end of World War I, Taha completed his studies in France and returned to Egypt to teach at the University of Egypt. He translated and introduced the literary arts of Greece, Rome and the fruitful achievements of the European Renaissance, organized and studied the ancient cultural heritage of Arabs and explored the path to the development of new Egyptian literature. In 1926 he published a book entitled The Poetry of the Age of Immaculate, a comprehensive explanation of his literary claims.

Thaha, the faithful son of the Arab people, was very concerned about changing the backdrop of the Arab country. He believed that ¡°the ignorance must first be eradicated in order to eradicate poverty and disease.¡± He attaches great importance to education and believes that ¡°education is for the people like air and water.¡± After he became Minister of Education, the first decree he signed was the ¡°Free Education Act.¡± He made outstanding contributions to Arab culture, and he has thoroughly studied literature, history, philosophy, and so on.
