The Time and the Place and Other Stories - Thryft

Insight into Cairo's soul through Mahfouz's tales.

Imagine walking through Cairo, feeling its heartbeat in every story. Naguib Mahfouz, a Nobel-laureate, weaves his mastery into these short stories to offer a melange of life's complexities and simplicities, set against the backdrop of the Egyptian metropolis. These tales connect on a human level, inviting you on a journey through the everyday and the extraordinary lives of its people.

Description

These twenty stories represent nearly thirty years of Mahfouz's career. Selected and translated by the distinguished scholar Denys Johnson-Davies, they have all the celebrated and distinctive characters and qualities found in Mahfouz's novels: the denizens of the narrow alleyways of Cairo; dark ruminations on death; experiments with the supernatural; and witty excursions into Cairene middle-class life.
