Assembled here is a collection of Mahfouz's artful meditations on the vicissitudes of post-Revolution Egypt. Diverse in style and narrative technique, together they render a rich, nuanced, and universally resonant vision of modern life in the Middle East.The Beggar is a complex tale of alienation and despair. In the aftermath of Nasser's revolution, a man sacrifices his work and family to a series of illicit love affairs. Released from jail in post-Revolutionary times, the hero ofThe Thief and the Dogs blames an unjust society for his ill fortune, eventually bringing himself to destruction. Autumn Quail is a tale of moral responsibility, isolation, and political downfall about a corrupt bureaucrat who is one of the early victims of the purge after the 1952 revolution in Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536554885408,"sku":"NEW0385498357","price":17.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61O2Avn4HjL.jpg?v=1777421581","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-beggar-the-thief-and-the-dogs-autumn-quail-0385498357","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
