«El callejón de los milagros» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (299 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative takes place in Midaq Alley, in the heart of old Cairo, where characters of very different backgrounds coexist: a baker who harasses her husband, a candy seller, a dentist, and young Hamida, beautiful but poor and ambitious. In the neighborhood café, the radio has replaced poems, and the daily life of the place becomes a reflection of human contradictions.
The novel was originally published in 1947; this Spanish edition belongs to the Las Otras Culturas collection. Naguib Mahfuz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
For readers interested in Arabic narrative and classics of world literature.
Naguib Mahfouz Abdelaziz Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Basha was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described him as a writer "who, through works rich in nuance – now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous – has formed an Egyptian narrative art that applies to all mankind".
