Naguib Mahfouz,Naguib Mahfouz
A new volume of three novelsâ€“previously published separately by Anchorâ€“by Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Together with ,The Beggar, The Thief and The Dogs, and Autumn Quail, ,(published by Anchor in December 2000), these novels represent a comprehensive collection of Mahfouzâ€™s artful meditations on post-revolution Egypt. Diverse in style and narrative technique, they render a nuanced and universally resonant vision of modern life in the Middle East.,Respected Sir,, â€œa latter-day ,Bleak House, ,in Arabicâ€ (,The New York Times,), revisits a familiar themeâ€“vaulting ambitionâ€“in a powerful and religious metaphor. ,Wedding Song,,, â€œone of Mahfouzâ€™s most enjoyable worksâ€ (,The Chicago Tribune,), is a psychological drama, focusing on how four very different kinds of minds apprehend and reckon with the realities that surround them. ,The Search, is a powerful, lurid, and compelling story of lust, greed, and murder.
