Yusuf Idris, one of the greatest contemporary writer not only in Egypt, but also in whole Arabic world marked an epoch in the Egyptian literature with his first collection of short stories "The Cheepest Night" (1954), where the true "Egypt" appears embodied through the Egyptian peasant life. Idris found the truth of Egypt in the emotion of each Egyptian, and his works realized "the peculiarity of Egyptian literature", the theme which had been pursued by modern Egyptian literature since "the Modern school". It is his outstanding realism that made Idris possible to realize this. His realismhas been much discussed regarding how Idris sees the reality, and labeled various names. But nothing has been truly discussed on the expressional level of his realism, though the distinguished feature of his realism could be realized only through his excellent expression. Idris's realism which could be named "the subjective realism" because of its subjectivity, is examined in this essay from the expressional standpoint, especially from "the viewpoint of the story" and Egyptian colloquial dialect "ammiya", taking "A Sight" as a typical example of the distinguished expression of Idris. It is a premise of the realism to fix the certain viewpoint in a story and depict the story only through this viewpoint, and "A Sight" shows clearly despite its extreme shortness that in Idris's work the fixed viewpoint in the first person is not merely a premise of the realism, but the essential motif of the story in which the subjective realism is fully realized. Idris was criticized because of his abundant use of "ammiya" expressions which were regarded unliterary and also regarded should not be used in the literary works. But "A Sight" indisputably shows that "ammiya" in Idris's work realizes the true literary nature.
