Mahjoub Abdel Daim faces an economic crisis that leaves him resentful of his social status, ready to do anything to enrich himself and rise to higher and more prestigious positions, even if it costs him a sham marriage to his neighbor, Ihsan, the Pasha’s secret lover, to ensure a safe and intimate encounter between them. This is based on his moral principle, which, in a blunt confrontation with his fellow believers, calls for the adoption of Islamist or socialist doctrines to embody political activism and class struggle in their ugliest manifestations.
The novel was published in 1946 and adapted to the big screen in the film “Cairo 30” by director Salah Abu Seif in 1966.
