In this collection of twenty-two vibrant stories, Naguib Mahfouz takes us back to the neighborhood world he created and described so brilliantly that it became a highly personal narrative, where the bullies symbolize power and brutal authority, the neighborhood sheikh symbolizes the loyal executive leadership, and the neighborhood residents are dominated by them. Through this world, Mahfouz depicts the transformations that society is witnessing and the immediate obstacles it faces. This is evident in the story “Echoes of Oblivion,” where the bully “Anbar” returns to God when he and his gang become men of the mosque. However, they soon return to practicing their bullying in a new guise, raising the banner of religion and chanting “God is Great.”
