In a rich dialogue atmosphere, and in the presence of a large number of intellectuals and interested people, Emirati writer Abdul Ghaffar Hussein signed his new book "Books and Books.. Selected Readings", recently issued by the Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation, the day before yesterday.
During the symposium hosted by the Al Owais Cultural Foundation in Dubai, and presented by the Foundation's Secretary-General Abdul Hamid Ahmed, Hussein toured the issues and positions he faced with the authors, referring to the poetry he wrote at the beginning of his literary life, and to many memories that may see the light at some time.
He added, "I tried not to be a transient reader of books, and I discussed the ideas contained in them, especially books issued by the Emirates or in the Emirates, as I was objective, because I have witnessed since the sixties of the last century the transformations in the Emirates," explaining that the book contains 150 titles, which he reviewed in various Subjects, including 60 authors from the Emirates.
A dialogue took place between the audience and Abdul Ghaffar Hussein, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation, Muhammad Ahmed Al Murr, pointed out the value of reviewing books in cultural life, because this is a well-known tradition in the press in general.
While Dr. Rafia Ghobash called for the completion of an encyclopedia of writers who enriched cultural life in the Emirates, and to study the lives of those who influenced the movement of society's development with their knowledge and knowledge, and to benefit from Abdul Ghaffar Hussein's experience in this field.
The book also included two introductions, one by Abdul Ghaffar Hussein, and the second by Muhammad Obaid Ghobash, in which he stated: “Abdul Ghaffar Hussein belongs to a decreasing type of writers with multiple interests, who constantly strive to obtain new knowledge. To take shelter in a narrow area where they feel comfortable staying, and for this reason they are ignorant of much of what is around them, and certainly Abdul Ghaffar Hussein is not one of them, it is rare to see him not holding a book in his hand or on his work table.
