A nobel for the Arab nation.

Extractions: ... was won by Egyptian novelist and short-story writer Naguib Mahfouz, chronicler of enduring human values from pharaonic Thebes to modern Cairo's back alleys. On the following pages are Larry Luxner's interview with Mahfouz, and Edward Fox's appreciation of his work After I had searched nearly an hour in Cairo's Khan al-Khalili bazaar for the legendary Zuqaq al-Midaq - the eponym of Naguib Mahfouz s most popular novel, Midaa, Alley - a young Egyptian noticed the Mahfouz paperbacks I was carrying and, in near-perfect English, asked me if I really expected to find the famous street. "Lately, many people are looking for Zuqaq al-Midaq,'' he said, "but the real Midaq exists only in their minds." After some polite conversation, however, Muhammad pointed out the tiny winding street that had - since the novel's publication - come to be known as Zuqaq al-Midaq. Once inside the narrow passage where Mahfouz used to walk daily, I spotted many shopkeepers who could easily have passed for Abbas the barber, Uncle Kamil the candy-seller, Kirsha the cafe-owner and other inhabitants of Mahfouz's fictional alley. The alley is in the heart of the ancient Jamaliyya quarter of Cairo, where Mahfouz was born and spent his childhood and where much of his best work is set. His attachment to the quarter is still strong, decades after leaving it for the suburbs, but at 77he laments that he is not able to visit it as often as he used to. The great boulevardier has cut down on the long walks for which he was famous; now he goes mainly to the Ali Baba Cafe on Thursday nights, often in a car, to see his old friends. Last December, the writer's frail health prevented him from traveling to Stockholm to receive personally the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature: His two daughters accepted the award in his name.

Extractions: When the Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in 1988, his work had an audience of millions of readers, almost none of them in America. Since the prize, however, Doubleday has published 16 of Mahfouz's books in English translation still only a fraction of his output, since he has written nearly 50 books. The "Cairo Trilogy," the early novels that established Mahfouz's reputation, won loyal readers here and sold more than 250,000 copies. The trilogy was a meticulous depiction of a specific place and time; it was written on the models of the major English, French and Russian novels of the 19th century. But it was in no sense a derivative work; what was original about it was the myth, mystery and immemorial history that informed the unfolding account of daily events. In a way, "The Harafish," now translated for the first time, is a complement to the "Cairo Trilogy," or the "Cairo Trilogy" turned inside out. It too is a novel about generations of a family living in an alley in an unspecified city, presumably Cairo. But this time there is none of the

http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1988/mahfouz-bio.html

Extractions: Born in Cairo in 1911, Naguib Mahfouz began writing when he was seventeen. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of the Cairo Triology, Bayn al Qasrayn, Qasr al Shawq, Sukkariya (Between-the-Palaces, Palace of Longing, Sugarhouse) in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional urban life. With The Children of Gebelawi (1959), he began writing again, in a new vein that frequently concealed political judgements under allegory and symbolism. Works of this second period include the novels, The Thief and the Dogs Autumn Quail Small Talk on the Nile (1966), and Miramar (1967), as well as several collections of short stories. Until 1972, Mahfouz was employed as a civil servant, first in the Ministry of Mortmain Endowments, then as Director of Censorship in the Bureau of Art, as Director of the Foundation for the Support of the Cinema, and, finally, as consultant on Cultural Affairs to the Ministry of Culture. The years since his retirement from the Egyptian bureaucracy have seen an outburst of further creativity, much of it experimental. He is now the author of no fewer than thirty novels, more than a hundred short stories, and more than two hundred articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world. In Egypt, each new publication is regarded as a major cultural event and his name is inevitably among the first mentioned in any literary discussion from Gibraltar to the Gulf.

http://www.sis.gov.eg/egyptinf/culture/html/nmahfouz.htm

Extractions: Born in 1911, Mahfouz is the grand old man of Arabic fiction, enjoying the affection and reverence of both critics and a vast readership. He published his first novel in 1939 and since that date has written thirty-two novels and thirteen collections of short stories. In his old age he has maintained his prolific output, producing a novel every year. The novel genre, which can be traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe, has no prototypes in classical Arabic literature. Although this abounded in all kinds of narrative, none of them could be described as we understand the term "novel" today.

Many in the Arab world saw the prize somewhat ironic, not least because the work for which Mahfouz received the prize had been published at least three decades earlier. In spite of millions readers in the Arab world, the author's books are still unavailable in many Middle Eastern countries on account of his support for President Sadat's Camp David peace treaty with Israel in 1978. Mahfouz have written some 40 novels and short story collections, 30 screenplays, and many plays. "Zaabalawi!" he said, frowning in concentration, "You need him? God be with you, for who knows, I Zaabalawi, where you are?"

http://users.ox.ac.uk/~orie0704/mahfouz/

Extractions: Born in the Gamaliyya district of Cairo in 1911, Naguib Mahfouz began writing when he was seventeen. A student of philosophy, Mahfouz graduated in 1934 from Cairo University, and has been influenced by many Western writers, including Balzac, Zola, Camus, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and especially Proust. He has written nearly forty novels as well as some 14 volumes of short stories, many of which have been translated and published in English. Amongst other activities, under his guidance, his novel al-Qahira al-jadida was eventually transformed into a film entitled Cairo 1930 . In 1988, Mahfouz, who, through works rich in nuance - now clearsightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous - has formed an Arabian narrative art that applies to all mankind , was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. As a writer, Mahfouz poses as an objective historian, preferring to simply record events as they happened, rather than take sides. He views the literary text as an "informer that engages in recreating a collective memory and thus produces and offers knowledge of a given society and an alternative articulation of that society's history." The author himself believes that "literature should be more revolutionary than revolutions themselves; that writers must find the means to continue to be critical of the negative elements in the sociopolitical reality." In his novels, the political history of Egypt is often mirrored. Many of his young women protagonists are used to symbolize Egypt itself: youthful and optimistic but naive and ill-experienced.

Extractions: Naguib Mahfouz on his daily walk through Cairo, 1988 also spelled NAJIB MAHFUZ (b. Dec. 11, 1911, Cairo, Egypt), Egyptian novelist and screenplay writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1988, the first Arabic writer to be so honoured. The son of a civil servant, Mahfouz attended Cairo University and worked in the cultural section of the Egyptian civil service from 1934 until his retirement in 1971. His early novels, such as Radubis (1943; "Radobis"), were set in ancient Egypt, but he had turned to describing modern Egyptian society by the time he began his major work, Al- Thulathiyya (1956-57), known as The Cairo Trilogy. Its three novels depict the lives of three generations of different families in Cairo from World War I until after the 1952 military coup that overthrew King Farouk. The trilogy provides a penetrating overview of 20th-century Egyptian thought, attitudes, and social change. In subsequent works Mahfouz offered critical views of the old Egyptian monarchy, British colonialism, and contemporary Egypt. Several of his more notable novels deal with social issues involving women and political prisoners. His novel Awlad haratina Children of the Alley ) was banned in Egypt for a time because of its controversial treatment of religion and its use of characters based on Muhammad, Moses, and other figures. His other better-known novels include
