If the letter “Lawaa” foolishly aspires to the illusion of being able to change history
"Quail and Autumn" by Naguib Mahfouz delves into the complex theme of historical change through the metaphorical character of the letter "Lawaa." This character represents a misguided ambition to alter the past, suggesting that such aspirations are futile and foolish. The narrative explores how individuals often grapple with their desires to influence historical outcomes, reflecting a broader commentary on human nature and the limits of personal agency.
