The tumultuous alley of this rich and intricate novel (first published in Arabic in 1959) is inhabited by a delightful Egyptian family, but is also the setting for a second, hidden, and more daring narrative: the spiritual history of humankind. The men and women of a modern Cairo neighborood unwittingly reenact the lives of their holy ancestors: from the feudal lord who disowns one son for diabolical pride and puts another to the test, to the savior of a succeeding generation who frees his people from bondage. This powerful novel confirms again the richness and variety of Mahfouz's storytelling and his status as "the single most important writer in modern Arabic literature" (Newsweek).Binding Type: Paperback

worth it for a woodworker
Size: 6FT, Color: Black-20W
It is a nice solid deal. you just rout out a hole large enough for it to set in. It mounts with two screws. I don't have a negative. I'll be getting more for my woodworking. Thank you.

Great product
Size: 6FT, Color: Black-20W
Added two of these behind the couch in a wood ledge between the couch and the wall. A template will make marking the cutout easier. You will need to make one as it does not come with the product.
