Tawfik El-Dekn..

This is a family book par excellence. Writing about Tawfik El-Dekn - with all due respect to his titles - is a great risk. A risk similar to walking on the edge of a sword. Walking on the edge of a hot knife that could cut your throat in a moment that goes beyond even feeling pain. His art lovers from the ocean to the Gulf. His jokes remain to this day. The comics. The recall of his sayings and stories are in full swing. The genius of his performance has everyone baffled. Yes, it is a family book, but it is also a record of political, economic and social life in Egypt in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. And the many changes that took place there, which we will clearly notice in the theatrical and dramatic works (radio and television), and in the cinema, which presented a very precise record. And the late great Tawfik El-Dekn participated in all of this with his unique genius.
