Price: $8.56
Customer Review:
Egyptian Nobel Laureate Mahfouz, who was nearly assassinated in 1994 at the age of eighty-two, survived the attempt on his life and lived twelve more years, long enough to compose a book about his post-assassination dreams.

Customer Review:
Mahfouz goes for some interesting detail in adult content...

from Doubleday Books
Price: $7.00
Customer Review:
The work of Mahfouz can be divided, it's said, into four periods: historical, realist, experimental and traditional. For many, his great accomplishment was the Cairo Trilogy, from the realist period.
