This book is a renowned novel written by the famous Egyptian writer Ihsan Abdel Quddous in 1956. Taking the anti - colonial patriotic struggle of the Egyptian people on the eve of the July 23 Revolution in 1952 as the theme, the author tells the story of Ibrahim, a patriotic young man. He could no longer bear the tyranny of the British imperialism and its lackeys in Egypt, who wantonly oppressed the common people at the bottom. Driven by his deep - seated patriotic feelings, he began to take actions, either alone or with a few others, to fight back. Unfortunately, he was arrested and imprisoned during an attempt to assassinate a traitor. Later, he escaped from prison and fled to the home of his friend Mohai, where he received the help of this family. In the end, although Ibrahim was unfortunately shot and killed by the Egyptian lackeys in the struggle against British colonialism, his dauntless spirit of courageously fighting back awakened the resistance consciousness of most of the oppressed and inspired the Egyptian people to realize their ideals and aspirations for national independence.
