Ahmed Hasan al-Zayyat (2 April 1885-12 June 1968) was a leading Egyptian intellectual who established the literary magazine al-Risala, described as "the most important intellectual weekly in 1930s Egypt and the Arab world." Born to a peasant family, al-Zayyat studied at Al-Azhar University before taking up legal studies in Cairo and Paris; he taught Arabic literature at American University in Cairo, and for three years in Baghdad, before founding al-Risala in 1933.
