Nobel Prizewinner Naguib Mahfouz?s magnificent epic trilogy of colonial EgyptPalace Walk, Palace of Desire, and Sugar Streettogether for the first time in one beautiful hardcover volume.The masterwork of the Nobel Prizewinning author, the three novels of The Cairo Trilogy trace three generations of the family of tyrannical patriarch AlSayyid Ahmad Abd alJawad, who rules his household with a strict hand while living a secret life of selfindulgence. Palace Walk introduces us to his gentle, oppressed wife, Amina, his cloistered daughters, Aisha and Khadija, and his three sonsthe tragic and idealistic Fahmy, the dissolute hedonist Yasin, and the soulsearching intellectual Kamal. AlSayyid Ahmad?s rebellious children struggle to move beyond his domination in Palace of Desire, as the world around them opens to the currents of modernity and political and domestic turmoil brought by the 1920s. Sugar Street brings Mahfouz?s vivid tapestry of an evolving Egypt to a dramatic climax as the aging patriarch sees one grandson become a communist, one a Muslim fundamentalist, and one the lover of a powerful politician.Throughout the trilogy, the family?s trials mirror those of their turbulent country during the years spanning the two World Wars, as change comes to a society that has resisted it for centuries. Filled with compelling drama, earthy humor, and remarkable insight, ?The Cairo Trilogy extends our knowledge of life; it also confirms it? (The Boston Globe).Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acidfree creamcolored paper, with fullcloth cases with twocolor foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, Europeanstyle halfround spines, and a fullcolor illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
