my reading table next to bed. A sort of social commentary, my literature seems to be. This disenfranchised existentialism of Sartre battles the cooly romantic lines of Prevert. Personally, i'm with Prevert.
Naguib Mahfouz Abdelaziz Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Basha (11 December 1911 – 30 August 2006) was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature. Mahfouz is regarded as one of the first contemporary writers in Arabic literature, along with Taha Hussein, to explore themes of existentialism. He is the only Egyptian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. He published 35 novels, over 350 short stories, 26 screenplays, hundreds of op-ed columns for Egyptian newspapers, and seven plays over a 70-year career, from the 1930s until 2004. All of his novels take place in Egypt, and always mentions the lane, which equals the world. His most famous works include The Cairo Trilogy and Children of Gebelawi. Many of Mahfouz's works have been made into Egyptian and foreign films; no Arab writer exceeds Mahfouz in number of works that have been adapted for cinema and television. While Mahfouz's literature is classified as realist literature, existential themes appear in it.

This summer I sat on the edge of a 50 ft cliff staring into the absurdity before me. My friend’s body burst out of the water and he screamed from the adrenaline. If I stood, I had to jump. I was confronted with the most significant experience of human freedom and responsibility yet in my life. I sensed a very real lack of anything that predetermined if I would jump. Nothing stopped me.
I’ve found similarities in existentialism and in the way I have viewed life in the past few years and even more so after my experience this summer of standing on the edge. I now face the paradox of believing my life is important while thinking general human existence is without purpose. This conflict of ideas has caused feeling of despair, isolation, absurdity, doubt, and longing. This project is about the exploration of these feelings and ideas as I go through my daily life. I am seeking to express how this emotional experience can be shown through physical reality.

Wonder called existence.2008.
In the Malayalam film moonnamathoralvineeth kills a women hitting on her head. Then will he will escape from there in style. He is going running and running. It is raining. Road is blocked. You can see cars stopped there. He will call the persons in cars hitting on the window. One person is sleeping. He will run from there again. At last he will reach the persons house that was killed. There an ambulance is parked. Around that peoples have gathered. Our hero will come running and between the peoples he will look her body. Thenvineeths pale face can be seen. That is the body of non-other than him. Then a question will arise like who is I. Dead person is neither me norwomen. Then a question arises like who is that. Iexist. I exist now also. Then flash back is shown. She is killing vineeth. To whom I will ask whyI’m exists. I’m alone. Everybody is having the problem that they exist. He is Weak. To whom I will ask why i became nonexistent. I’m not seeing any person whom I can ask question. Peoples around seems like acting that they don't know anything. If in film nobody will even sense him. He is ghost isn't it? The whole world seems to be made to cheat myself. Complete loneliness. Do they know anything?Who are these peoples?Self-knowing will be something like this. The only hope is science. Science which maybe expected to be working until death.Science which is working now. But science itself is only a drama. How can i believe in science? Science will happen like any other things might happen. What is the authority in this world? If this world is true any other world can be true. Existentialism keeps oneself in the shadow of fear and doubt, but it will never show oneself what is truth. The question remains that I am. He fears the truth. The fear is that truth may become known. Every body likes to remain on this dream world. He is realizing that all probability exists there now to know the truth.
Existence seems to be the real problem. That can be only known through experience. There is something in it which can’t be expressed in words. There is no exit. There is no other choice. I don’t have the choice to become nonexistent. Freedom is not there is becoming a problem because of that. Unbearablesecond, Problems without any solutions may exist in life itself, but existential problem is only the problem that I exist.There is helplessness,complete helplessness,Loneliness. There is nothing else there. Life is different.
Existentialist must all become mad. Thereis lot of problems in life itself. Along with that there is there is basic problem. Many of them don't marry thinking that the problems which exist is enough.
holmes uncovering existential mistery .mistery going to be revealed after death like a bomb.life is slowly given fire.
