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.
