Naguib Mahfouz, the first and only writer of Arabic to be awarded
the Nobel prize for literature, wrote prolifically from the 1930s
until shortly before his death in 2006, in a variety of genres:
novels, short stories, plays, screenplays, a regular weekly
newspaper column, and in later life his intensely brief and
evocative Dreams. His Cairo Trilogy achieved the status of a world
classic, and the Swedish Academy of Letters in awarding him the
1988 Nobel prize for literature noted that Mahfouz "through works
rich in nuance-now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively
ambiguous-has formed an Arabic narrative art that applies to all
mankind."Here Denys Johnson-Davies, described by Edward Said as
"the leading Arabic-English translator of our time," makes an
essential selection of short stories and extracts from novels and
other writings, to present a cross-section through time of the very
best of the work of Egypt's Nobel literature laureate.
