A new volume of three novels-previously published separately by Anchor-by Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Together with The Beggar, The Thief and The Dogs, and Autumn Quail (published by Anchor in December 2000), these novels represent a comprehensive collection of Mahfouz's artful meditations on post-revolution Egypt. Diverse in style and narrative technique, they render a nuanced and universally resonant vision of modern life in the Middle East. Respected Sir , "a latter-day Bleak House in Arabic" ( The New York Times ), revisits a familiar theme-vaulting ambition-in a powerful and religious metaphor. Wedding Song , "one of Mahfouz's most enjoyable works" ( The Chicago Tribune ), is a psychological drama, focusing on how four very different kinds of minds apprehend and reckon with the realities that surround them. The Search is a powerful, lurid, and compelling story of lust, greed, and murder.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7; One volume with tree novels previously published separately, by Nobel Laureate author Naguib Mahfouz. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean and unmarked with trace wear to corners, soundly bound, pages all intact, clean and free from any markings. Each novel portrays post-revolutionary Egypt. Themes include excessive ambition in a powerful religious metaphor--the desire to 'move up' supersedes all else in the protagonist's life; psychological drama about life in the theatre, focusing on how four very different kinds of minds can apprehend and deal with the realities around them; and a chilling story of a young criminal seeking his father--Mahfouz explores the social alienation that drives him to conspiracy and murder. This one is a harsh critique of contemporary mores. 454 pages. 8 x 5.25 inches. Anchor Books/Random House Publishing, New York, 2001.
