Meet the people of Cairo's Gamaliya quarter. There is Nabqa, son of
Adam the waterseller who can only speak truths; the beautiful and
talented Tawhida who does not age with time; Ali Zaidan, the
gambler, late to love; and Boss Saqr who stashes his money above
the bath. A neighbourhood of demons, dancing and sweet halva, the
quarter keeps quiet vigil over the secrets of all who live there.
This collection by pre-eminent Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz was
recently discovered among his old papers. Found with a slip of
paper titled `for publishing 1994', they are published here for the
first time. Resplendent with Mahfouz's delicate and poignant
observations of everyday happenings, these lively stories take the
reader deep into the beating heart of Cairo.
