«La azucarera» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz published by Alcor, in paperback, with 272 pages, in Spanish.
The grandsons of Ahmad Abd el-Gawwad, a merchant of old Cairo, move away from family tutelage and engage with the political options of Egypt in the thirties and forties: from communism to Islamism. Against the disillusionment of their elders, they embody the vitality of a country freeing itself from colonial rule and facing a contradictory future.
Third installment of the Cairo Trilogy; translation from Arabic by Eugenia Gálvez Vázquez and others; original title: El-Sukkariyya.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and classic narrative, with an interest in twentieth-century Egypt and the work of Nobel Prize winner 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".
