The National Organization for Civilization Coordination included the name of the late great writer Abbas Mahmoud Al-Akkad in the project "A Street's Tale", in order to familiarize passersby with the story of the street, where he put up a sign bearing his name and all the details about him. Solitude, prolonged silence and met. Al-Akkad grew up in a city where the ancient past meets the present. In Aswan, especially in winter, the latest images of modern civilization meet with the traces of the ancient past, not only in museums, but in homes, for life is life, and at the meeting point of the two lives, Akkad grew up and opened his eyes as a child to the Parisian girl and the English lady, then the beloved Aswan woman.
Al-Akkad is one of the founders of the Al-Diwan School, which was concerned with criticism in the modern era. It is also the first steps for renewal in Arabic poetry; This is due to what it worked on to show new concepts in literature, and it is worth noting that the first appearance of this school was in 1909 AD, and the school was named by this name in relation to the “Book of the Diwan in Literature and Criticism” written by Al-Aqqad and Al-Mazini in 1921 AD.
Al-Akkad established a literary salon in his home in the early fifties, and the council was run every Friday in the presence of a group of Egyptian thinkers and artists of eminent literature. In his council are the topics concerned with the role of Muslim women in society, and Al-Akkad had written three books on this subject, and pointed out the importance of women obtaining their right to participate in society, and their right to freedom of thought as well. Therefore, Al-Akkad was highly respected by women.
Al-Akkad has a school, but it did not take shape until recent years. Before, she had semi-sporadic relationships with separate individuals, and then her features became clear, and her most prominent sons are Professor Ali Adham, Dr. Zaki Najib Mahmoud and Dr. Othman Amin.
Abbas Mahmoud Al-Akkad died on 12 March in 1964 AD, at the age of seventy-five, and he passed away, leaving behind a literary legacy that revives his memory, and guides those who wish to follow his path.
