Najib Mahfouz: Kids in Our Neighborhood 2

The People’s World Book of Literature, No. 330, Nov. 2nd volume of children in our community. It is the masterpiece of Nazib Mahfuz, a Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian literary writer who has placed Arab literature on the global literature class. The first novel to be silenced and re-printed after seven years of his despair in Egyptian politics, a story of the typical religion of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, has been used for centuries to capture mankind's aspirations for peace. The religious climate was also in the grip of a sacrilegious debate in Muslim society. A village in Cairo is surrounded by stories of Jews, Christians, the holy books of Islam, prophets from the Koran and many other generations of people. The author, in his own story of the main characters who have to be interpreted in a religious sense, consistently describes how each prophet liberated people from violence and oppression throughout human life. The yearning and imagination of a special being with a good will in a world where good and evil cannot exist are a testimony to the existence of a whole human history.
