A wise and popular pharaoh is betrayed by his own son, and by his dearest friends - then makes a most peculiar decision. A mummy returns to life after three thousand years, to confront the arrogant new race that now rules the land. A favored prince flees to a faraway country when the king dies suddenly, leaving his true love behind - only to come back to question her about their forty lost years. A famous young writer, composer of a legendary epic of Pharaoh's greatest battle with the Hittites, is carried off without warning by a mysterious disease - then speaks to us in this life from beyond the veil of death. Such are the tales that make up this volume of five masterly stories by the young Naguib Mahfouz, all inspired by the Egypt of the pharaohs. Like three novels set in ancient times that he also published early in his career, these stories reveal his wide reading of Egypt's (and the world's) oldest history and literature. All of these gems, however, are very much his own creations. Their voices speak with the familiar genius of Egypt's greatest modern writer - though they call from a very different world than the one for which he is best known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/najib-mafu-books\"\u003eNajīb Mafū\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Univ in Cairo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789774247583\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Univ in Cairo Press","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £15.00","offer_id":47920140124337,"sku":"SB-9774247582-C3","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/9774247582.jpg?v=1789259877"},{"product_id":"autumn-quail","title":"Autumn Quail","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet during the Egyptian revolution of 1952 and the years immediately following, this 1962 novel by the Nobel laureate focuses on Isa, a senior civil servant during the last days of the monarchy, pensioned off after the upheaval for having taken bribes. \"Although my mind is sometimes convinced by the revolution, my heart is always with the past. I just don't know if there can be any settlement between the two,\" says Isa, who abides his own peculiar moral code. Refusing to join his hypocritical friends in kowtowing to the new regime, he spurns the connections offered by his cousin Hasan, a key player in the infant republic, and becomes a nonentity; Hasan subsequently wins the hand of Isa's fiancee, Salwa, whose influential father and whose \"sweet gentle expression that showed not only a kindly temperament but also an almost total lack of intelligence or warmth\" makes her a coveted commodity. Isa's perhaps honorable career choice is later counterpointed by his despicable treatment of a prostitute whom he impregnatedpk , and of his barren wife. As translator Allen admits, the novel suffers from a falsely optimistic, contrived ending (Mahfouz may have been pleasing the \"official cultural sector\" to which he himself belonged) and from its coverage of an extended, four-year time period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/najib-mafu-books\"\u003eNajīb Mafū\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doubleday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780385400657\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £7.36","offer_id":47958427467953,"sku":"SB-0385400659-C4","price":7.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0385400659.jpg?v=1790049866"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/najib-mafu-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
