???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

“I’m Coming, O Light”: A heartfelt memoir written by the late Egyptian doctor and awardwinning writer and journalist, Mohamed AboulGheit. The book was published by Dar Al Shorouk yesterday, in memory of AboulGheit — who passed away on Monday. In his book, AboulGheit documented his battle with stomach cancer by delving into the different aspects of his treatment journey, and contemplating the meaning behind life, death, oblivion, and eternity. He sought to overcome time and face the concept of death by writing about events, emotions, and stories that he experienced during his lifetime — during and before his illness — with the intention of giving hope to whoever reads it. The book is divided into 14 parts, each of which contains inspiring passages to live by — some of which were previously published on the author’s Facebook page. The book is available at Al Shorouk bookstores, and on Amazon Kindle, Google Play Box, and the Abjad application. The book’s editor, Ahmed Samir, said yesterday on Facebook that the book’s net proceeds will be donated to the late writer’s family.
