This highly experimental device produces a kind of biographical  dictionary, whose individual entries come together to paint a vivid portrait of life  in Cairo from a range of perspectives. The characters include representatives of  every class and human type and as the intricate family saga unfolds, a powerful picture  of a society in transition emerges. This is a tale of change and continuity, of the  death of a traditional way of life and the road to independence and beyond, seen  through the eyes of Egypt's citizens. Naguib Mahfouz's last chronicle of Cairo is  both an elegy to a bygone era and a tribute to the Egyptian spirit.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47961568739486,"sku":"ING-9780307455062","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780307455062.jpg?v=1783736480","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780307455062","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
