Khan al-Khalili by Naguib Mahfouz
Tells the story of the Akifs, a middle-class family that has taken refuge in Cairo's historic neighborhood during the Second World War. Through the eyes of Ahmad, the eldest Akif son, the author presents a richly textured vision of the Khan al-Khalili.
'Fans..will savor Khan al-Khalili, another work of social realism, first published in Arabic in 1946 and now translated into English for the first time.' -- Cameron Martin
