The Thief and The Book, is a 2010 Egyptian series, directed by Abdul Aziz Hashad, and starring Sameh Hussein, Hassan Hosny, Ahmad Rateb, running for 1 season. Content rating: TV-PG.
The Thief and The Book is a drama-comedy series built around a pair of identical twins who could not be more different. The first is an upright schoolteacher who lives by his principles and earns his modest life honestly. The second is a quick-witted swindler who stumbles from one crisis to the next — yet consistently manages to talk or scheme his way out of trouble thanks to his sharp mind and magnetic personality. The series uses the contrast between the two brothers to mine both humor and genuine human insight, exploring questions of identity, moral choice, and the paths we take in life. A crowd-pleasing blend of wit and warmth rooted in Egyptian popular storytelling.
