Hasan Husni al-Tuwayrani

Hasan Husni al-Tuwayrani (1849/60-1897) was an Egyptian journalist and poet.

Life

Of Turkish origin, al-Tuwayrani was born in Cairo.[1] His full name is Hasan Ḥusnī Pasha bin Ḥusayn Arif al-Ṭuwayrānī.

al-Ṭuwayrānī travelled to many places in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. He was a bilingual, with advanced proficiency in both Turkish language and Arabic. He wrote literature and poetry in both languages. In 1884, he established in Istanbul an Arabic magazine called Al Insan (meaning "The Human"), which transformed into a newspaper later on; and stopped in 1890. He then travelled back to Egypt and participated in editing a number of Egyptian newspapers.
