There is a person in my family, a novel by ihsan Abdul kardos, a famous contemporary Egyptian writer, published in 1957, which is the representative work of the author.

The novel describes a quiet college student, Ibrahim, who participated in the assassination of the British in the struggle against British colonialism and was accidentally arrested. He became a hero admired by the whole country. After he escaped from prison, he fled to the home of his classmate Mahieddine, who never asked about politics. This peace-loving family, which has nothing to do with politics, is afraid, uneasy and excited about Ibrahim's arrival. They warmly welcomed the political fugitives. The arrival of Ibrahim had an unusual influence on every member of the family, who felt that there was a real man in the family. Ibrahim didn't want this family to suffer any misfortune. He decided to leave the family, and then everyone found that they had regarded him as a member of the family. Ibrahim was shot and killed in the attack on the British camp. The Mohiding family was very sad. They joined the revolutionary wave set off by the whole country.

The author's writing is exquisite and sincere, describing a seemingly harsh and ruthless political struggle, which links the fate of the country with individuals and families.
