Description
Midaq Alley brings to life one of Cairo's most vibrant backstreets in the 1940s. Here, a diverse cast of characters - from street vendors to politicians and poets - come together to form a microcosm of Egypt's largest city on the cusp of change.
Through their stories, Naguib Mahfouz vividly portrays the complexities of urban life, where traditional values collide with the forces of modernity. With his characteristic talent for rich storytelling, he masterfully weaves together the lives of those living in this bustling alleyway.
