«Las noches de las mil y una noches» is the literary novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (251 pages, in Spanish).
The novel begins where the tales of One Thousand and One Nights end: Shahriyar and Shahrazad become symbols of oppression, tyranny and suffering. Mahfuz composes an allegory of the contemporary Arab world, between tradition and modernity, with an eye on the present.
Volume 46 of the Ave Fénix collection, Serie Mayor, from Plaza & Janés. The original work was published in 1979; translation by M.ª Luisa Prieto.
For those seeking literary fiction and wanting to approach Arab narrative and the reinterpretation of classic tales.
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".
