Ibrahim Mahmoud Swailam

An Egyptian novelist, researcher, and university lecturer with a strong academic background in political and economic sciences. His work explores the intersection of history, philosophy, and psychological storytelling, blending scholarly depth wit literary imagination.

Driven by a passion for symbolic analysis, mythological narratives, and cross-cultural memory, Swailam crafts historical fiction that delves into themes of exile, identity, trauma, and the buried truths of the past. His published essays and articles have appeared in respected Arabic platforms, focusing on the philosophical undercurrents of contemporary and ancient worlds.

In his debut novel, Exile B.C: The Escape, Swailam presents a dual-timeline psychological thriller that spans ancient Egypt and modern Cairo-interweaving myth, revolution, and forbidden history. The novel is a profound reflection on what happens when history is forgotten... or deliberately erased.
