Children of Gebelawi is a novel by the Egyptian author Naguib Mahfuz, published in 1959. The story takes place in a neighborhood of Cairo and follows several generations of a family struggling for justice and equality. Through complex characters and deep symbolism, Mahfuz explores themes such as faith, power, oppression, and the search for truth. The novel has been the subject of controversy due to its interpretation of religious figures and its social criticism.
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".
