نجيب محفوظ - شهد الملكة مسلسل

The series Shahd Al-Queenah is one of the parts of the Harafish epic, based on a novel by the writer Naguib Mahfouz

The series Shahd the Queen is one of the parts of the Harafish epic, which is based on a novel by the Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz published in 1977. The Harafish novel tells ten stories of generations of a family that inhabited an Egyptian neighborhood with no exact time or place (it is believed that it was in Hussein at the beginning of the Alawite dynasty in Egypt).

The Harafish by the world writer Naguib Mahfouz was - and still is - a wonderful material for Egyptian cinema and television, as it was represented in more than one movie and television and radio series, including Harafish, The Huntress, The Queen’s Witness, Hunger, Berries and Prophets.

Nor did Al-Harafish's novel stray far from the existential approach that Naguib Mahfouz adopted in many of his novels, despite its social character (one of the characters seeks immortality after conquering her sudden death... and other behaviors in the same direction). The events, details, and characters of the Harafish novel branch out in the mind of the reader as in the writer’s pen to plant many ideas and pour into the idea of ​​the frequency of generations, the loss of assets from one generation to another, and the inclusion of veins. Religion is also present in the narration of Harafish, like the soul that a person cannot extract from his body despite the rebellion against it.. It is a novel that contains all life, it is covered with all its stamps, and it generously lists most of the values. And the novel is filled with verses from Persian poetry that the writer used as a symbol of the unknown that haunts human souls...The stories of the novel follow like a wonderful song that mixes strength and weakness...good and evil...hope and despair.
