Children of the Alley

AR9b-N1924

  • Language : Arabic
  • Subject : Novels
  • Author : Naguib Mahfouz
  • ISBN : 9789778616200
  • Year : 2022

The tumultuous alley of this rich classic is inhabited by a delightful Egyptian family, but is also the setting for a second, hidden, and more daring story: 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 new edition with re-designed cover is part of a special project to embrace, celebrate, and honor the literary legacy of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz.
