«Respected Sir, Wedding Song, The Search» is a volume collecting three novels by Naguib Mahfouz in paperback (464 pages, in English).
This volume brings together three novels: «Respected Sir» follows a civil servant obsessed with rising through the administration; «Wedding Song» is a psychological drama set in the theatre; «The Search» narrates a young man's search for his father, caught up in crime. Together, they address ambition, alienation, and modern life in Egypt.
The three novels were published separately and collected in this volume in 2001. Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arabic-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature (1988).
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".
