I
Overview of the Book
“I Am” is not a conventional autobiography, but a profound intellectual journey into the formation of the human self.
In this book, Abbas Mahmoud Al-Aqqad presents an honest and uncompromising portrait of himself as he truly sees it, not as others might wish it to appear.
He reflects on his upbringing, the development of his consciousness, and his views on life, society, and thought, with a bold and analytical style.
This work stands as an intellectual confession and a philosophical meditation, offering readers a rare encounter with a free mind and an independent spirit—one that believes the true value of a human being lies in thought, not in possessions or appearances.
