Abstract
This article explores the existential experience of blindness in the works of Taha Hussein, contrasting his perspective with that of Abu Al-Alaa Al-Maary. The study examines how Hussein transformed his disability into a literary and cultural legacy, utilizing language as a mirror to incorporate the world despite his physical condition. It further highlights Hussein’s role as a symbol of modern Arab culture, shaped by his complex relationship with memory, fiction, and his predecessor Al-Maary.
