In the book "Rifa'a al-Tahtawi: Leader of the Intellectual Renaissance in the Age of Muhammad Ali," Jamal al-Din al-Shayyal unveils the life journey of one of the most prominent symbols of the intellectual renaissance in Egypt. After centuries of stagnation under Ottoman rule, the French campaign led Egypt to new heights, allowing Rifa'a al-Tahtawi the opportunity to travel to France as part of Muhammad Ali's mission. In France, Al-Tahtawi witnessed the European Renaissance and returned to Egypt to become a pioneer in bringing ideas of progress and modernization to his homeland. The book covers Al-Tahtawi's life in all its details, from his beginnings under the Ottoman darkness to his pivotal role in bringing about an intellectual and cultural revolution in his time, and presents a biography rich in information and interesting storytelling.
