About me / Bio:
Tawfiq al-Hakim was born into a well-to-do family in Alexandria, Egypt. He studied law at Cairo University and then went to Paris to continue his legal studies, but he was more interested in the theatre.

He wrote more than 50 plays, many of which explored philosophical, social, and political themes. He also wrote novels, short stories, and autobiographical works. He is considered one of the pioneers of the Arabic novel and drama, and he influenced many Arab writers and intellectuals.
