«El séptimo cielo» is a collection of supernatural stories by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Alianza in hardback (208 pages, in Spanish).
A murderer believes he has awakened in Paradise and is put to tests; a young man ventures into an enchanted forest; a perfumer receives visits from vengeful skeletons. Mahfuz explores death, spirituality and the otherworldly in these stories, a little-known fantastic vein of the Egyptian Nobel laureate.
First edition. Published in 2009 in the Alianza Literaria collection, translated by Mariano Antolín Rato. Naguib Mahfuz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
For readers of short supernatural tales and for those who want to discover the less realist side of Naguib Mahfuz.
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".
