"Sugar Street "is the final novel in Nobel Prize-winner Naguib
Mahfouz's magnificent Cairo Trilogy, an epic family saga of
colonial Egypt that is considered his masterwork.
The novels of the Cairo Trilogy trace three generations of the
family of tyrannical patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad, who
rules his household with a strict hand while living a secret life
of self-indulgence. "Sugar Street" brings Mahfouz's vivid tapestry
of an evolving Egypt to a dramatic climax as the aging patriarch
sees one grandson become a Communist, one a Muslim fundamentalist,
and one the lover of a powerful politician. Filled with compelling
drama, earthy humor, and remarkable insight, Mahfouz's Cairo
Trilogy is the achievement of a master storyteller.
