The Time and the Place and other stories
Naguib Mahfouz
These twenty stories represent nearly thirty years of Mahfouz's career. Selected and translated by the distinguished scholar Denys Johnson-Davies, they have all the celebrated and distinctive characters and qualities found in Mahfouz's novels: the denizens of the narrow alleyways of Cairo; dark ruminations on death; experiments with the supernatural; and witty excursions into Cairene middle-class life.
