The Days (Arabic: الأيام, romanized: Al-Ayyām) is a novelized autobiography in three volumes by the Egyptian professor Taha Hussein, published between 1926 and 1967.

[1] It covers the author's childhood, with themes of the ignorance prevalent in rural Egypt and the customs practiced at that time and provides a detailed description of traditional Islamic education.

There are many references to the art of listening and descriptive details about the way things smell or feel, as Hussein subtly reveals that he has gone blind.

[2] The third volume was serialized from March 1955 to June 1955 in the magazine Akher Saa, then published as a book in 1967.

[1] It is about the author's time at Cairo University, then his studies in France, where he obtained a doctorate degree, and finally his return to Egypt, where he became a professor.
