Assembled here is a collection of Mahfouz's artful meditations on the vicissitudes of post-Revolution Egypt. Diverse in style and narrative technique, together they render a rich, nuanced, and universally resonant vision of modern life in the Middle East. \u003cbr\u003eThe Beggar is a complex tale of alienation and despair. In the aftermath of Nasser's revolution, a man sacrifices his work and family to a series of illicit love affairs. Released from jail in post-Revolutionary times, the hero ofThe Thief and the Dogs blames an unjust society for his ill fortune, eventually bringing himself to destruction. Autumn Quail is a tale of moral responsibility, isolation, and political downfall about a corrupt bureaucrat who is one of the early victims of the purge after the 1952 revolution in Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086785831063,"sku":"9780385498357","price":1260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780385498357.webp?v=1767639522","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-beggar-the-thief-and-the-dogs-autumn-quail-9780385498357","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
