Description
A play, texts, roles, actors, an author, Afrah al-Qubba… and a novel whose events revolve around one title, one text, and one stage. The stage is the stage of life, the text is the vicissitudes of life, and the title is the human being. Naguib Mahfouz delves deeply into bringing together events and a plot for the characters of his novel, revealing his embodied genius in that these characters are from the realities of life in the working-class neighborhoods, particularly those where he spent his childhood, thriving. He never stopped frequenting their streets, alleys, and lanes to write about these people and those with whom Afrah al-Qubba is filled. Through their suffering and dialogues, mixed with pain and hope, with anguish, disappointment, and optimism, the novel reaches the height of its sincerity and the brilliance of its performance, so that the reader becomes Tariq Abbas, Uncle Ahmed, or one of the actors standing behind the scenes of this theater, awaiting his turn.
