The main work that won him everlasting fame and popularity was the Cairo trilogy. This book came on the scene in 1950 and was completed before the July Revolution. The work consists of three books namely Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, and Sugar Street. These entire novels describe the story of a patriarch el-Sayyed Ahmed Abdel Gawad and his family over three generations. After these works, the king farauq was overthrown and Naguib Mahfouz stopped writing for some times. However, he restarted during 1959 and again produced some good works. He was great fan of Nasser, the new king of Egypt. This time, he published short stories, essays, journalism, memoirs and screen plays.
1960 and 1970 brought about another change in him and he started writing about the topics regarding the people’s distancing from god and the involvement in the worldly affairs. His novels now started revolving round the interior monologues and the use of the first person narration became his favorite method to bring out the different values of socialism and Nasseritism.
Surely, works of Naguib Mahfouz would be very interesting for you to read. Just order his books and get the big concession on the purchase of his 3 books bundle.
