Abstract

Youssef al-Sabaei (1917-1978) Egyptian Literary character wrote short stories, novels and critical essays, but he was characterized by the mood of the real artist. On the one hand, he spent his life preserving his personal freedom. On the other hand, he performed his duty towards the homeland through his writings to save his homeland from all traces of the British occupation. And to cleans it another period of corruption and exploitation. He wrote twenty-two stories and fifteen novels and four plays not published critical articles, and the first novel published in 1947, is the novel the successor of  Ezraiel, and in this article we examine the character of  Youssef al-Sabaei based on Maslow's views, as we study Naeb Ezraiel  novel , A psychological study based on the Maslow pyramid of human needs, and let us identify through the research on the character of the writer on the one hand, and deepen in the story of the Deputy Naeb  Ezraiel  novel.  and its characters, especially the protagonist of the novel through the pyramid Maslow, to see how human needs are reflected in this novel, and according to the runways of this pyramid does the protagonist reach self-realization. One of our findings is that the character of Youssef al-Sabaei can be seen as a self-fulfilling figure, and that the protagonist in the story of the successor of Ezraiel fails in the realization stage, even though he was aware of its features and stood in all its angles.
