«Échos d'une autobiographie» is a fragmentary autobiography by Naguib Mahfouz, published by Editions de l'Aube in paperback (186 pages, in French).
Naguib Mahfouz, Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, looks at his life in brief fragments covering childhood, the street, love, women, and the teachings of a Sufi master. Death, present from the first pages, and a singular conception of time run through this autobiographical mosaic built as a mirror-book.
«Échos d'une autobiographie» was originally published in 1994; this French edition, translated from Arabic by Marie Francis-Saad, appeared in 2009.
For readers interested in Arabic literature and the work of Naguib Mahfouz, with a brief and lyrical approach to his life and thought.
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".
