Sobre este artículo
CAIRO: THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO.. Fine. 1992. First Edition. 9774242696 . "True" First English Language Edition. SIGNED & dated in year of publication by the Nobel Prize winning author Naguib Mahfouz on the title page. Fine in a very close to fine dj. The signature is clear and precise, unlike the examples one sees post 1994, after the author had withstood a savage assault, and the resulting stab wounds resulted in paralysis in his writing hand. The concluding volume in the 'Cairo' Trilogy. A rare signature in books owing largely to the author's well documented reclusiveness. (B) .
Sinopsis
Naguib Mahfouz was born in Cairo in 1911 and began writing when he was seventeen. A student of philosophy and an avid reader, his works range from reimaginings of ancient myths to subtle commentaries on contemporary Egyptian politics and culture. Over a career that lasted more than five decades, he wrote 33 novels, 13 short story anthologies, numerous plays, and 30 screenplays. Of his many works, most famous is The Cairo Trilogy, consisting of Palace Walk (1956), Palace of Desire (1957), and Sugar Street (1957), which focuses on a Cairo family through three generations, from 1917 until 1952. In 1988, he became the first writer in Arabic to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in August 2006.
