«Entre dos palacios» is the first novel in Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo Trilogy, published by MR in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
A Cairo family between 1917 and 1919: patriarch Ahmad is stern at home and festive outside, while his wife Amina and their children Yasín, Fahmi, Aisha and Kamal live under that double moral in an Egypt awakening politically. Confinement, resignation, love, religion and politics intertwine in a portrait of tormented interiors.
First installment of the Cairo Trilogy, along with «El palacio del deseo» and «La azucarera»; translated from Arabic by Eugenia Gálvez Vázquez and others.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary classics, particularly those wanting to know 20th-century Cairo society.
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".
