Anis Mansour's letters to Ibrahim Abdel Aziz

Anis Mansour's letters to Ibrahim Abdel Aziz

Prepared and presented by: Ibrahim Abdel Aziz

In this book, we not only get to know Anis Mansour the great thinker and writer, but we also meet Anis the man : the gentle soul, the keen sense, and the inner voice that he often hid behind his philosophical articles and his rigid mental images.
Through rare personal letters written by Anis Mansour to his friend Ibrahim Abdel Aziz , a door is opened to his private world: his thoughts, his worries, his obsessions, his sarcasm, and his deep honesty.

These letters are, in essence, a tacit autobiography , in which Anis writes as he never writes in his books. Without affectation, without calculation, only an inner voice chronicling life day by day, mood by mood.

💌 What makes these messages different?

Anis Mansour wasn't writing to just anyone; he was writing to a friend he respected and trusted, someone he knew wouldn't let his words down. That's why the letters came across as they were, without embellishment or artifice, brimming with thought, anxiety, love, sorrow, and wonder.
We read about his daily life in the press, about his moments with great writers, about his travels, about loneliness, and even about health and illness, as if we were living with him for a day of his life, not just reading about it.
