«El mendigo» is the contemporary fiction novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (159 pages, in Spanish).
The plot is set in Cairo in the 1960s and follows Omar Al Hamzawi, a prestigious lawyer and family man who, without any evident reason, loses interest in his life. His personal journey leads him to question the meaning of existence, in a story that reflects the disillusionment and crisis of values that marked his generation after the Egyptian revolution.
The edition appeared in 1992 within the Plaza & Janés Literaria collection.
For readers of Egyptian narrative interested in stories of personal crisis.
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".
