Naguib Mahfouz The Egyptian novelist is above all a master storyteller San Francisco Chronicle. Mahfouz snovels provide a voice for his culture - Denver Post. http://www.sis.gov.eg/egyptinf/culture/html/nmahfouz.htm
Extractions: Born in 1911, Mahfouz is the grand old man of Arabic fiction, enjoying the affection and reverence of both critics and a vast readership. He published his first novel in 1939 and since that date has written thirty-two novels and thirteen collections of short stories. In his old age he has maintained his prolific output, producing a novel every year. The novel genre, which can be traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe, has no prototypes in classical Arabic literature. Although this abounded in all kinds of narrative, none of them could be described as we understand the term "novel" today.

Civilization in Egypt flourished over 5,000 years ago, and the country's historic sites are among the worlds greatest attractions.
