Reviews
Praise for Naguib Mahfouz: "The greatest writer in one of the most widely understood languages in the world, a storyteller of the first order in any idiom." -- Vanity Fair "A Dickens of the Cairo cafes." -- Newsweek "The incredible variety of Naguib Mahfouz's writings continue to dazzle our eyes." -- The Washington Post "Naguib Mahfouz virtually invented the novel as an Arab form. He excels at fusing deep emotion and soap opera." -- The New York Times Book Review "Mahfouz's work is freshly nuanced and hauntingly lyrical. The Nobel Prize acknowledges the universal significance of his fiction." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review, Praise for Naguib Mahfouz: "The greatest writer in one of the most widely understood languages in the world, a storyteller of the first order in any idiom." -- Vanity Fair "A Dickens of the Cairo cafes." -- Newsweek "The incredible variety of Naguib Mahfouz's writings continue to dazzle our eyes." -- The Washington Post "Naguib Mahfouz virtually invented the novel as an Arab form.

Synopsis
Widely acclaimed as Naguib Mahfouz's best novel, Midaq Alley brings to life one of the hustling, teeming back alleys of Cairo in the 1940s. From Zaita the cripple-maker to Kirsha the hedonistic cafe owner, from Abbas the barber who mistakes greed for love to Hamida who sells her soul to escape the alley, from waiters and widows to politicians, pimps, and poets, the inhabitants of Midaq Alley vividly evoke Egypt's largest city as it teeters on the brink of change. Never has Nobel Prize-winner Mahfouz's talent for rich and luxurious storytelling been more evident than here, in his portrait of one small street as a microcosm of the world on the threshold of modernity., Widely acclaimed asNaguib Mahfouz's best novel, Midaq Alley brings to lifeone of the hustling, teeming back alleysof Cairoin the 1940s.
