«El mendigo» is the contemporary novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in hardcover (216 pages, in Spanish).
The plot is set in Cairo in the 1960s and follows Omar Al Hamzawi, a prestigious lawyer who, for no apparent reason, loses interest in his life to search for the «secret of life» through love and mysticism, until he isolates himself and loses himself in his own hallucinations.
First volume of the MR Biblioteca Naguib Mahfuz collection. Work originally published in 1965; Naguib Mahfuz received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
An ideal work for readers of contemporary fiction with a philosophical background and for those who follow the Egyptian narrative of Naguib Mahfuz.
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".
