Abstract

Mahmood al-Sa’ dani is an Egyptian contemporary satirist, journalist, and author. Many of his works are Satires on socio-political issues of the Arab society. Humor is the only way he uses to express his thoughts and ideas freely and to criticize the cultural, political, social, and living conditions of the Arab world. His satirical speech explains the spiritual needs of the Egyptian society. In his book Himer Min al-Sharq, which is a controversial parody of Tawfiq al-Hakim’ s novel A Sparrow from the East, Sa’ dani depicts the Cultural confrontation of the East and the West through his journey to Paris. In favor of the French culture, he criticizes the negative— or unfavorable— aspects of the Arab world and its social and political corruption with so artistic a satirical language. The irony is that he expresses the problems of the Arab society by praising them. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the authors of this article intend to analyze this book to explain the Satire Techniques in it. The aim of this research is to explain the role that comedy plays in the explanation of and solving social problems and to measure the success of Sa’ dani. The results of this research demonstrate that Sa’ dani, with his powerful writing and great knowledge, has managed to express critical issues in creating irony through language Techniques and reversal of values. Another point is that although both of these novels talk about the surprise of the oriental man in his confrontation with Western civilization, the satirical expression of the problems of the East and, in particular, the Arab society by Sa’ dani shows that he neither accepts nor rejects al-Hakim’ s view of the East, but Hakim, who first is of a non-material world view, changes his view and, like Sa’ dani, comes to adopt a material perspective toward the East.
