Meet the people of Cairo'apos;s Gamaliya quarter. There is Nabqa, son of Adam the waterseller who can only speak truths; the beautiful and talented Tawhida who does not age with time; Ali Zaidan, the gambler, late to love; and Boss Saqr who stashes his money above the bath. A neighbourhood of demons, dancing and sweet halva, the quarter keeps quiet vigil over the secrets of all who live there. This collection by pre-eminent Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz was recently discovered among his old papers. Found with a slip of paper titled 'for publishing 1994'apos;, they are published here for the first time. Resplendent with Mahfouz'apos;s delicate and poignant observations of everyday happenings, these lively stories take the reader deep into the beating heart of Cairo. | The Quarter by NAGUIB MAHFOUZ, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
