About This Item
Cairo: The American University in Cairo Press, 1992. First English-language editions. Some slight marking to the edges of two volumes; a few small wormholes to the upper board-edges of Vol. 1, just about fine in clean, unfaded dust jacket with original price labels affixed to rear panels.. Three vols., uniform 8vos, 498, 422, 308pp; cloth-backed boards. These are the correct first editions in English, published in Egypt in the wake of Mahfouz's award of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988. Loosely inserted in the first volume is a small card signed and dated by the author in 1989 and with a portrait photo of him clipped from a magazine and mounted to the card. A handsome set of Mahfouz's landmark trilogy.
