Musings on Literature, Philosophy and Travel

About this book

Between the journey's folds and the soul's noise: a reading in the philosophy of man. What remains of man when the loud cities' lights go out and he finds himself alone before his soul's mirror in a long night's darkness? In his book 'Musings on Literature, Philosophy and Travel,' author Khaled Abdelaziz takes us on an exceptional journey not limited to geographic movement between cities but diving deep into the human psyche's terrain and fluctuations. The book begins as a living testimony of a faith journey to 'the Holy Land,' where history's fragrance mingles with the moment's sanctity, but soon turns into an arena of major intellectual reviews. From a 'retreat' experience that changed his view of things to meditations on the struggle of matter and soul, the author carries us in a refined literary style combining the musings' simplicity with human philosophy's depth. This work is not merely travel memoirs but 'a manifesto' of literature searching for truth amid rubble of falseness and ignorance. The author asks with bitterness and hope: why do we kill ourselves for 'the debris of the world.'
