Egyptian Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz draws on his homeland’s
rich engagement with the afterlife-and his own near-death
experience at the hands of a would-be assassin-in these newly
translated, brilliantly mysterious stories of the supernatural.
Among those who haunt these tales are the ghosts of Akhenaten,
Woodrow Wilson, and Gamal Abd al-Nasser, who endure a strange
system of earthly probation in the hope of gaining entry to the
fabled Seventh Heaven; a teenager drawn into the secret, enchanted
life he finds within his neighborhood’s forbidden wood; an honest
perfume seller accosted on a night out by angry skeletons; and
Satan himself, who confesses that there is still, despite the flood
of evil in our times, an honorable man in the land. As ingenious at
capturing the surreal as he is at documenting the very real social
landscape of modern Cairo, Mahfouz guides these restless spirits as
they migrate from the shadowy realms of other worlds to the haunted
precincts of our own.
