La azucarera is a novel by the Egyptian author Naguib Mahfuz, published in 2009. The story focuses on the grandchildren of Ahmad Abd el-Gawwad, an old merchant from Cairo, who move away from family guardianship and become involved in different political options during the turbulent Egypt of the thirties and forties. From communism to Islamic fundamentalism, these young people embody the vitality of a nation that bravely faces its contradictory future. This work is part of the Cairo Trilogy, considered the magnum opus 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".
