As well as being an important writer, he was an expert \u062e\u0628\u064a\u0631<\/strong><\/span> on the Arab culture. He is considered a landmark in the cinema and literature and is compared to Naguib Mahfouz \u0646\u062c\u064a\u0628 \u0645\u062d\u0641\u0648\u0638<\/strong><\/span> and Yusuf Idris \u064a\u0648\u0633\u0641 \u0627\u062f\u0631\u064a\u0633<\/strong><\/span> . He spent most of his life as a civil servant until he rose to become adviser to the National Library of Egypt.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yehia Haqqi was born on January 7th<\/sup> 1905 in the Sayyida Zeinab district of Cairo. He graduated in Law \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0627\u0646\u0648\u0646<\/strong><\/span> in 1925 a nd worked for a short time as a lawyer \u0645\u064f\u062d\u0627\u0645\u0649<\/strong><\/span> . In 1929, he began his career as a diplomat \u062f\u0628\u0644\u0648\u0645\u0627\u0633\u064a<\/strong><\/span> and he worked abroad for more than 20 years. The time he spent in France \u0641\u0631\u0646\u0633\u0627<\/strong><\/span> , Italy \u0627\u064a\u0637\u0627\u0644\u064a\u0627<\/strong><\/span> , Turkey \u062a\u0631\u0643\u064a\u0627<\/strong><\/span> and Libya \u0644\u064a\u0628\u064a\u0627<\/strong><\/span> gave him experiences which he later used in his writings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the same time as he was working, Haqqi was writing stories. His first short story, published in 1925, established his name as one of the great short story writers of the Arab world. He wrote many articles \u00a0\u0645\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0627\u062a<\/strong><\/span> and short stories and won many awards. From 1961 to 1971, he was editor of the literary magazine; Al-Majallah \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u0644\u0629<\/strong><\/span> .<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Haqqi always wanted to help poor and disabled people. He had to go to hospital after an earthquake \u0632\u0644\u0632\u0627\u0644<\/strong><\/span> in Cairo, but gave his bed to a poor person who he thought needed it more. In 1955, he wrote a collection of short stories about the poor \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621<\/strong><\/span> and the disabled \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0639\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0646<\/strong><\/span> which won an important prize. Another of his stories; The Postman \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0633\u0637\u062c\u0649<\/strong><\/span> or \u0633\u0627\u0639\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u064a\u062f<\/strong><\/span> , was made into a film.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Haqqi wrote in a new way about the Arab society \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u062a\u0645\u0639<\/strong><\/span> and customs \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u062f\u0627\u062a<\/strong><\/span> in the twentieth century. He was also interested in the Arabic Language and he developed a new style \u0623\u0633\u0644\u0648\u0628<\/strong><\/span> of writing which is still respected today.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As well as writing his own novels and stories, Haqqi also translated Russian, French, Italian and Turkish literature into Arabic. He was a very strong believer in the power \u0642\u0648\u0629<\/strong><\/span> of education \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0645<\/strong><\/span> and supported many young Egyptian writers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Haqqi died on December, 9th<\/sup> 1992, but is still thought of as the “Father of the Modern Short Story and Novel”\u00a0 in Egypt.<\/p>\n
