Lesson 1 – Half a Day
The end of His works.
Lesson 1 – Half a Day
III. The world in his works
The picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz’s work is very gloomy indeed, though not completely disappointing. It shows that the author’s social utopia is far from being realized. Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as a force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.
prayer for the new age—Maitreya
The end of Creator of the Universe.
Christians believe that the
world was created by God. So here “Creator”
means God.
