Reviews)
Naguib Mahfouz's novel "The Beggar" explores the complex nature of beliefs and their influence on individuals, even those who consciously abandon them. The quote, "Beliefs have tyranny even over those who reject them," highlights how deeply ingrained convictions can dominate one's thoughts and actions, affecting them regardless of their perceived autonomy. This suggests that beliefs can shape our identities and experiences in profound and sometimes oppressive ways.
