Page "Gamal Abdel Nasser" Paragraph 9

According to Palestinian American journalist Said Aburish, the combination of living in so many cities and attending different schools did not distress Nasser but broadened his horizons, allowing him to become aware of the class divisions in Egyptian society.

Despite constantly changing schools, Nasser spent most of his spare time reading, particularly in 1933 when his uncle happened to live near the National Library of Egypt.

In addition to the Qur ' an, the sayings of Muhammad, and the lives of the Sahaba ( Muhammad's companions ), he read the works of Napoleon, Gandhi, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, and many others.

He was greatly influenced by the Egyptian nationalist politician Mustafa Kamel, and poet Ahmed Shawqi.
