Reviews"An enthralling novel. . . . Mahfouz has plunged into the ancient book of fantasy and found a modern truth." -- Chicago Tribune "Its colorful portrayal of human conflict and folly . . . generously displays the narrative skills that make Mahfouz one of the best of all modern storytellers. Few writers display such masterly comprehension of the interconnectedness of character and fate. This novel soars." -- Philadelphia Inquirer " Arabian Nights and Days is among Mr. Mahfouz's best works. . . . An eloquent ratification of his Nobel Prize." -- Dallas Morning News "Mahfouz weaves an entertaining arabesque of intrigue, betrayal, obsessive love, social injustice, reincarnations and wrongs righted or made worse." -- Publishers Weekly, Praise for Naguib Mahfouz: "The greatest writer in one of the most widely understood languages in the world, a storyteller of the first order in any idiom." -- Vanity Fair "A Dickens of the Cairo cafes." -- Newsweek "The incredible variety of Naguib Mahfouz's writings continue to dazzle our eyes." -- The Washington Post "Naguib Mahfouz virtually invented the novel as an Arab form. He excels at fusing deep emotion and soap opera." -- The New York Times Book Review "Mahfouz's work is freshly nuanced and hauntingly lyrical. The Nobel Prize acknowledges the universal significance of his fiction." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review

Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisThe Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz refashions the classic tales of Scheherazade into a novel written in his own imaginative, spellbinding style. Here are genies and flying carpets, Aladdin and Sinbad, Ali Baba, and many other familiar stories from the tradition of The One Thousand and One Nights , made new by the magical pen of the acknowledged dean of Arabic letters, who plumbs their depths for timeless truths.
