Literature
normally viewed is a parameter of a social change in any society.
And this literature is be filled with symbolism. This trend
of multiple cases of different reflections of whatever is
prevailing in a society does give the population of any society
a given reason for riding the trend of change under all of
the given conditions that are conducive to change after all
that has been uttered in silence. However this silent trend
in the society is equivalent to a silent revolution, and here
there is no contradiction involved here. Najib Mahfuz writings
of novels carried with it this kind of trend through out all
of his novels here. One here must be careful to make a point
in the age of what Egypt was undergoing through its history
namely before 1950 and upwards here. Najib Mahfuz has kept
his trend of silent change of revolution in the Egyptian society
without paying attention to those who are no more than a passing
cloud in the sky. Of all his writings Najib Mahfuz noted this
creeping silent revolution. In the novel of his called "A
Nose and Three Eyes" which is a direct translation of
the word of this novel. It basically deals with the human
contact between the two sexes while breaking all the rules
dictated by the society at large. In this particular novel
Najib Mahfuz did his best to soften human relation at the
best he could do here. But Najib Mahfuz left the conclusion
wide open for the readers to be filled with imaginations wide
open here. But here Najib Mahfuz presence remained forever
here.
