The Complete Works of Ahmad Al Dora’i (02 volumes)

The book includes two encyclopedic volumes. The first one is made or literary
writings of different basically innovative genres, while the second one comprises
modernist intellectual approaches which do not shy from daring questions and
engage in deep analysis, uncovering our country’ s strange situation in “its recent
past and present time” as it begets “creative pioneers who remain mostly
unknown among their people” as stated in the introduction by the Chairman of
the Beït Al Hikma Academy, Professor Abdelmajid Charfi.
The creative and academic writings of Ahmad Al Dora’i uncover the scope of
the intellectual, political and trade union battle fought by the enlightened party
against the dogmatists that rejected reform and change. His literary works and
academic approaches illustrate his progressive trend opposed to the upholders of
tradition. Most of his writings, through written in the first half of the twentieth
century speak today’s language with great precision and clarity.
In a nutshell, the complete works of Ahmad Al Dora’i show his belonging to the
modernist project at political, social, religious and legal level. It is a
comprehensive reformist vision, ignored by the critical movement, and treated
equitably by the Beït Al Hikma Academy.
