Summary:
"Naguib Mahfouz's magnificent Cairo Trilogy traces three generations of the family of tyrannical patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad al-Jawad against the turbulent backdrop of colonial Egypt.
Palace
Walk
introduces us to Sayyid's gentle, oppressed wife, Amina, his cloistered daughters, Aisha and Khadija, and his three sons -- the tragic and idealistic Fahmy, the dissolute hedonist Yasin, and the soul-searching intellectual Kamal. The family's trials mirror those of the country during the years spanning the two world wars, as change comes to a society that resisted it for centuries."--Publisher.
