A Sparrow from the East is a novel written by Egyptian author Tawfiq al-Hakim in 1938. It narrates the life of Muhasin, an Arab, in Paris, France, and his encounter with the Western modernity. It can be argued that the persona of Muhsin is similar to those of Tawfiq when he was in Paris in 1925 for doing his PhD.
