Review:
About the Author:
"The sheen of the Arabian Nights lends a magical glow to this resonant fable." --Boston Globe
"A morality play extolling the virtues of tolerance and understanding." --Los Angeles Times "The Journey of Ibn Fattouma is captivating in its simplicity." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "Mahfouz's pithy parable mocks the hypocrisy of nations that wage war and maintain empire in the name of brotherhood and freedom." --Publishers Weekly "A slender, magical parable of idealism and compromise through a stylized Middle East odyssey." --Kirkus Reviews "A dreamy fable. . . . The arful mood of languor and Mahfouz's exactness of expression ensure that it will be well received." --Booklist "As enchanting a tale as any he has written." --Library JournalNaguib Mahfouz was born in Cairo in 1911 and began writing when he was seventeen. His nearly forty novels and hundreds of short stories range from re-imaginings of ancient myths to subtle commentaries on contemporary Egyptian politics and culture. Of his many works, most famous is The Cairo Trilogy, consisting of Palace Walk (1956), Palace of Desire (1957), and Sugar Street (1957), which focuses on a Cairo family through three generations, from 1917 until 1952. In 1988, he was the first writer in Arabic to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in August 2006.
