| | Al-Ahram Weekly Books Supplement Representing the nation |
 | | The Cairo Trilogy, which appears in this [Everyman's] edition for the first time as one book, was originally conceived as a single novel, and not as three separate works as it has been produced since it was first published in Arabic in 1956. | | | The Trilogy is the great family saga of modern Arabic literature and the work that enshrined middle class morality and culture. | | | One cannot think of a better text, than his magisterial Cairo Trilogy to be the first Arabic literary work to appear in the canonical Everyman's Library. |

| | Universally accepted as his masterwork, it may be regarded as a bildungsroman and as the autobiographical reminiscences and personal observations of the author himself. | | | Time is seen here, as in the trilogy, as an uncaring enemy of man. For the normal pattern of life in the alley [was] disturbed only occasionally when one of its girls disappeared or one of its men folk was swallowed by the prison. | | | In one volume, a girl's name I given as "Narjis" while she is later referred to as "Narcissus," the translated meaning of the name; clearly, only a reader knowing Arabic will recognize them as the same character. |

| | Cruelty of memory (by Edward Said) - Media Monitors Network |
| | The trilogy is a history of the patriarch El- Sayed Ahmed Abdel-Gawwad and his family over three generations. | | | Rights to his English translations are held by the American University in Cairo Press, so poor Mahfouz, who seems to have sold them off without expecting that he would someday be a world- famous author, has no say in what has obviously been an unliterary, largely commercial enterprise without much artistic or linguistic coherence. | | | In 1980 I tried to interest a New York publisher, who was then looking for "Third World" books to publish, in putting out several of the great writer's works in first- rate translations, but after a little reflection the idea was turned down. |

| | The Cairo Trilogy - Naguib Mahfouz |
| | The trilogy is very heavy on dialogue, as well as resorting to a considerable amount of interior dialogue (so that one learns what the characters are really thinking, but wouldn't ever dare say). | | | Mahfouz is so absorbed in each scene, so effortlessly able to assume with the great story-tellers that the tale he is telling is the only tale worth hearing at the moment, that the reader, as it were, must become a member of the family." - | | | Sabry Hafez's brief introduction (to the Everyman's Library edition), and a chronology are of some help, but additional annotation regarding especially the Egyptian political events likely would have been helpful. |

| | And as the trilogy proceeds, we witness the corrosive nature of time and circumstance upon his authority, as his children grow into the world, and the political destiny of Egypt is contested both within, and without, the family home. | | | But more than anything, the trilogy is an intimate dissemination of the soul, desires, imagination and motivations of individuals, an interrogation of the family, and Mahfouz orchestrates it with the precision of a master. | | | Written between 1956 and 1959, the trilogy chronicles the lives of three generations of a middle class merchant family between 1917 and 1944. |

| | LiteratureClassics.com -- Essay -- The Effects of Belated Modernity as evident in the Cairo Trilogy |
| | Mahfouz’s Cairo Trilogy is instructive in that it presents an illustration of the inherent conflict involved in the modernization project in which tradition and modern are diametrically opposed. | | | Moreover, the transformation of Abd al-Jawad’s character in the Trilogy demarcates the disparities of the past and the present. | | | It is through learning that an ideological consensus can be reached, and it is through the revolution against a common evil that modernity can succeed. |
