This highly experimental device produces a kind of biographical  dictionary, whose individual entries come together to paint a vivid portrait of life  in Cairo from a range of perspectives. The characters include representatives of  every class and human type and as the intricate family saga unfolds, a powerful picture  of a society in transition emerges. This is a tale of change and continuity, of the  death of a traditional way of life and the road to independence and beyond, seen  through the eyes of Egypt's citizens. Naguib Mahfouz's last chronicle of Cairo is  both an elegy to a bygone era and a tribute to the Egyptian spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eNAGUIB MAHFOUZ was born in Cairo in 1911 and began writing when he was seventeen. His nearly forty novels and hundreds of short stories range from re-imaginings of ancient myths to subtle commentaries on contemporary Egyptian politics and culture. Of his many works, most famous is The Cairo Trilogy, consisting of \u003ci\u003ePalace Walk\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), \u003ci\u003ePalace of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), and \u003ci\u003eSugar Street\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), which focuses on a Cairo family through three generations, from 1917 until 1952. In 1988, he was the first writer in Arabic to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in August 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46552701763745,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780307455062","price":24.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780307455062.jpg?v=1781713403","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/morning-and-evening-talk-paperback-by-naguib-mahfouz","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
