About this product

Product Information

The tumultuous alley of this rich and intricate novel (first published in Arabic in 1959) is inhabited by a delightful Egyptian family, but is also the setting for a second, hidden, and more daring narrative: the spiritual history of humankind. The men and women of a modern Cairo neighborood unwittingly reenact the lives of their holy ancestors: from the feudal lord who disowns one son for diabolical pride and puts another to the test, to the savior of a succeeding generation who frees his people from bondage. This powerful novel confirms again the richness and variety of Mahfouz's storytelling and his status as "the single most important writer in modern Arabic literature" ( Newsweek ).

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Extraordinary Book

    This book demonstrates the author's incredible ability to tell a great story. The story is arguably an allegory for the history of humanity and religions. It explores the lives of God, Adam, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. In a modern-day setting in Egypt, it retells the stories that made them great. For example, Gabal (in arabic meaning "mountain") is the character of Moses, who manages to free his alley of snakes demanding in return rights to the alley's estate, reminiscent of the plagues on Egypt. But more than a simple portrayal of the events that occurred, the book shines light on the differences in philosophy of the different characters. It examines the presence and absence of Gabalawi, God. It examines the pacifism of Jesus. It is a great book, although I do not have the time to ...
