Immerse yourself in the life of the Midaq alley, a place where escaping is more difficult than living. Surrounded by characters such as ambitious matchmakers, untitled dentists, soldiers in love and avaricious merchants, Hamida, a young and beautiful woman, longs for a better future. Her beauty attracts Abbas, willing to show her his unconditional love, and Salim, a lonely and wealthy old man who could grant her all his wishes. In the midst of this crossroads, Ibrahim appears, a seducer who will further complicate her choice. 'El carreró dels miracles' is Naguib Mahfuz's most popular and translated work, a raw and moving portrait of life in a Cairo alley that has turned this choral novel into a benchmark of contemporary Arabic 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".
