Book Description
================
Naguib Mahfouz guides us on a journey through the history of the tumultuous
alley belonging to a delightful - and sometimes diabolical - Egyptian
family: the descendants of a man named Gebelawi. We accompany them in
their struggles to right their wrongs, to eke out a better existence
for themselves and their cohorts - and we discover a second, hidden,
and daring narrative: the spiritual history of humankind. From the supreme
feudal lord who disowns one son for cruel pride and puts another to
the test, to the savior of a succeeding generation who frees his people
from bondage, we find the men and women of a modern Cairo neighborhood
unwittingly reenacting the lives of their holy ancestors: the "children
of the alley."
