«Ecos de Egipto: pasajes de una vida» is the memoir by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (130 pages, in Spanish).
Naguib Mahfuz recalls his childhood and youth in the neighbourhoods of Cairo through short texts and evocative vignettes: anecdotes of friends, colleagues and neighbours, and popular figures of the city who later reappear in his novels. The volume opens with a foreword by Nadine Gordimer.
Volume 1 of the MR Biblioteca Naguib Mahfuz collection. The work was originally published in Arabic in 1994.
For readers of contemporary Arabic literature and autobiographies, as well as for those who wish to learn about the personal memory of a Nobel Prize winner.
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".
