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.
