The books’ titles are taken from actual streets in Cairo, the city of Mahfouz’s childhood and youth. The trilogy follows the life of the Cairene patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad and his family across three generations, from World War I to the overthrow of King Farouk in 1952. \”If the urge to write should ever leave me\”, Mahfouz said in an interview recently, \”I want that day to be my last.\”
