Khan al-Khalili

AR9b-R1934

  • Language : Arabic
  • Subject : Novels, Historical fiction
  • Author : Naguib Mahfouz
  • ISBN : 9789778616286
  • Year : 2022

The time is 1942, World War II is at its height, and the Africa Campaign is raging along the northern coast of Egypt. Against this backdrop, Mahfouz’s novel tells the story of the Akifs, a middle-class family that has taken refuge in Cairo’s colorful and bustling Khan al-Khalili neighborhood. Believing that the German forces will never bomb such a famously religious part of the city, they leave their more elegant neighborhood and seek safety among the crowded alleyways, busy cafés, and ancient mosques of the Khan. 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.
