About the Author
Al-Hakim, Tawfik: - Tawfiq al-Hakim
is one of the major pioneer figures in modern Arabic literature. Born in Alexandria in 1898 to an Egyptian
father and Turkish mother, he studied law in Paris, then worked as a public
prosecutor in a provincial Egyptian town. He became the Arab world's leading
dramatist, as well as a major short-story writer and a man of letters, notably publishing many articles against Nazism and
Fascism during WWII. He died in 1987.
Diary of a Country Prosecutor is an Egyptian comedy of errors. Partly autobiographical, it is written as the journal of a young public prosecutor posted to a village in rural Egypt. Imbued with the ideals of a European education, he encounters a world of poverty and backwardness where an imported legal system is both alien and incomprehensible.
