I am Shehata, the influential and influential man in the Sublime Porte, who closed the great prison during the reign of Muhammad Ali, and saw the ruler’s betrayal of the people, I saw countries built and countries fall. I am Al-Shamsharji, I am history, more important than sultans and kings, more important than Al-Jabarti, whose son I saw die in front of me while I laughed. Then he wrote in clearer and larger handwriting: I lived to narrate, I lived to tell, I lived to die in the folds of history.
