«El callejón de los milagros» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
In Midaq Alley, in Cairo, a baker who harasses her husband, a candy seller, a matchmaker, a dentist, and the ambitious Hamida coexist. The café radio has replaced the poems, and the tea ceremony remains. The street reflects human contradictions and the changes in Egyptian society since the 1940s.

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".
