This highly experimental device produces a kind of biographical  dictionary, whose individual entries come together to paint a vivid portrait of life  in Cairo from a range of perspectives. The characters include representatives of  every class and human type and as the intricate family saga unfolds, a powerful picture  of a society in transition emerges. This is a tale of change and continuity, of the  death of a traditional way of life and the road to independence and beyond, seen  through the eyes of Egypt's citizens. Naguib Mahfouz's last chronicle of Cairo is  both an elegy to a bygone era and a tribute to the Egyptian spirit.","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43350764945663,"sku":"9780307455062","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307455062_s600x595.jpg?v=1781542367","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780307455062","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
