Book Description | Naguib Mahfouz's greatest and most important epic, in which he describes the human soul and its being torn between the search for salvation and the pursuit of pleasures. Ten stories, crowded with all that life has to offer in terms of conflict, sweetness and seduction, in which the sons of "The Great Survivor" are represented as reformers seeking justice and goodness, each in his own way, standing in the face of injustice and struggling with temptation and the urges of the human soul; they fall and triumph, corrupt and reform, in an amazing epic in which generations succeed one another over two centuries from the time of the Great Survivor to Ashour the last Survivor. The novel was published in 1977 and its stories were transferred to the big screen six times in the eighties and then to the small screen in 2002. |
