«El callejón de los milagros» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Martínez Roca in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In Midaq Alley, in Cairo, the lives of a baker who harasses her husband, a candy seller, a matchmaker, a dentist, a merchant, and the ambitious young Hamida intertwine. Between poverty and the color of the street, their stories show human contradictions and the changes in Egyptian society.
Originally published in Arabic in 1947, this Spanish edition came out in 2001 with a translation by Helena Valentí. Naguib Mahfuz won the Nobel Prize in 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".
