Outside the Box

About this book

Are you weary of seeing the world through a single window, its glass dimmed by what the eye and memory have grown used to? "Outside the Box" is not merely a comic book or a passing collection of drawings. It is a resounding cry wrapped in a sardonic smile and the pen of an artist who decided to tear the curtain of complicity and silence. It is a bold invitation to remove your mind from the spectator's seat and descend into the arena of deep thought and debate. Here you will find the events that passed you by or that you read about, but with a completely different flavor, as if you were seeing them for the first time. The writer, Mahmoud El-Sayed, takes you on a deep journey inside a world of tangled political problems and social issues, analyzing and mocking at once. You will sincerely touch the bitterness of political failure and the corruption of a media that sells credibility for a price, and the fragility of an electoral scene governed by money boxes rather than ballot boxes. You will feel anger at the exploitation of the needy and their marginalization, sadness for children who became victims of their parents' disputes in the courts of life, and anxiety over the consequences of surrendering to a reality that imposes dependency on independent thought.
