«Amor bajo la lluvia» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Destino in paperback (233 pages, in Spanish).
In an Egypt at war and undergoing social transformation, eighteen characters express their concerns about life, death, love and sex. Their voices draw a choral portrait marked by emigration, economic crisis and the clash between modernity and tradition. The novel was censored in Egypt for its critical tone towards society.
Translation by Isabel Hervás Jávega. Edition in the Áncora y Delfín Collection (no. 852). The novel was originally published in Arabic in 1973.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Arabic literature, interested in Egyptian society and in 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".
