About the book: 1983 / The collection includes three stories: “The incident at the al-Minisi farm”, “This happens in Egypt in our days" and "War on the land of Egypt" by Yusuf al-Quayid, one of the leading modern prose writers of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Quayid's works are a kind of history of the Egyptian village of our days. Organically weaving documentary materials into the artistic fabric, the author creates vivid pictures of the life and customs of Egyptian fellah peasants, the changes that occur in their psychology and worldview. “The Incident at the Al-Minisi Farm” (1971), the mystery surrounding the death of Sabrin, his daughter night watchman Abd al-Sattar, is revealed very quickly. Without entrusting this task to anyone, the author himself clearly and unambiguously defines the role and degree of guilt of each of the participants in the tragedy that led to the death of the most beautiful girl on the farm.
