Miracle Alley, written by Naguib Mahfuz, transports us to the heart of Cairo, where the lives of its inhabitants are intertwined in a tapestry of ambitions, desires and misfortunes. Hamida dreams of a prosperous marriage, Abbas longs for her love, Kirsha seeks affection in young people, and the widow Afifi longs for company. In this scenario, misery and love coexist, reflecting the changes in Egyptian society since the 1940s.
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".
