«Miramar» is the novel by Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (164 pages, in Italian).
In 1966, at the Miramar boarding house in Alexandria, the guests —an old journalist, an aristocrat, a seducer and others— embody the different layers of Egyptian society. Young Zahra, a boarding-house employee, connects these characters, whose alternating voices draw a country between nostalgia and change.
Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988; the original novel was published in 1967.
A Nobel Prize work ideal for readers of Egyptian fiction, twentieth-century classics and Middle Eastern literature.
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".
