Why Should We Translate the Novels of Ahmed Khaled Tawfik?
By Melissa Krawczyk
Ahmed Khaled Tawfik (أحمد خالد توفيق) was a prolific, celebrated, and beloved Egyptian author who wrote in both Egyptian and Classical Arabic. A trailblazing contemporary author of the Arabic horror, fantasy, science fiction, and medical thriller genres, Tawfik was known for his atypical heroes—ordinary people rather than the polished heroes of Arabic folk literary tradition. He aimed to turn young people into avid readers and enjoyed imbuing his works with scientific and medical knowledge, which should come as no surprise: Dr. Tawfik was a Professor of Tropical Diseases at Tanta University throughout his writing career. Yet despite having published hundreds of popular works—including three expansive series of pocket novels aimed at young adults (Paranormal, Safari, and Fantazia)—for the most part, only his novel Utopia has been published in translation (English, French, Italian, and German), with the addition of The Devil’s Mirror (Lo specchio di Satana) in Italian.
The Para Beloved Egyptian author Ahmed Khalid Tawfik (1962-2018) died earlier this year.

To my eternal shame, I came late to reading Ahmed Khalid Tawfik, so I will let my colleagues and friends – the speakers at the event – do all the talking. They were Muhammad Naguib Matter, the man charged with the sci-fi section of the Al-Hussieni Institute, and authors Ahmed Salah Al-Mahdi and Rania Masoud. Ahmed Al
