«Entre dos palacios» is the novel by Naguib Mahfuz published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (490 pages, in Spanish).
The stern Ahmad Abd el-Gawwad subjects his wife Amina and his children to humiliating discipline, but in the neighbourhood he is a cordial, hard-drinking and seductive man. Yasín, Jadiga, Fahmi, Aisha and Kamal live trapped between that double standard and the fear of displeasing their father, in Egypt in the first half of the twentieth century.
First instalment of the «Cairo Trilogy» by Naguib Mahfuz, originally published in 1956. Edition with an introduction by María Jesús Viguera.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century classics interested in Egyptian society and family conflicts.
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".
