New York. 1991. June 1991. Doubleday. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0385264712. Translated from the Arabic by Denys Johnson-Davies. 175 pages. hardcover. Jacket Illustration By Anthony Russ. Jacket Design By Robbin Schiff. keywords: Literature Translated Egypt Arabic. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Since Naguib Mahfouz was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1988, his novels been received with great enthusiasm and excitement by English-language readers around the world. His vivid and deeply affecting tales of life in twentieth-century Cairo have won him widespread critical acclaim. The author of more than thirty novels, the ‘Dickens of the Cairo cafes' (Newsweek) has published fourteen volumes of short stories in his native Arabic. Now, available for the first time in English, comes this collection, THE TIME AND THE PLACE AND OTHER STORIES. These twenty stories represent nearly thirty years of Mahfouz's career, the earliest having first appeared in Arabic in 1962 and the most recent in 1988. Well known as a writer who prefers familiar surroundings, Mahfouz has set all but one of these stories in Cairo, while the other takes place in Alexandria. Sixteen of the stories have not previously appeared in English. Selected and translated by the distinguished scholar Denys Johnson-Davies, these stories have all the celebrated and distinctive characters and qualities found in Mahfouz's novels: the denizens of the dark narrow alleyways of Cairo who struggle to survive their poverty; dark ruminations on death; experiments with the supernatural; and witty excursions into Cairene middle-class life. Unquestionably, this collection serves as a worthy and welcome addition to the distinguished oeuvre of this world-class writer. inventory #8013.
