Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. When Naguib Mahfouz left his job as a civil servant in 1971, a Nobel Prize in literature was nowhere on the horizon, nor was his global recognition as the central figure of Arab literature. He was just beginning a new job on the editorial staff of the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, and elsewhe…re in Cairo, Anwar Sadat was just beginning his hugely transformative Egyptian presidency, which would span eleven years. The Meaning of Civilisation is a collection of essays that captures one of Egypt s most important decades in the prose of one of the Middle East s most important writers. It stitches together a fascinating and vivid account of the dramatic events of the time, from Egypt s break with the Soviet Union to the Yom Kippur War with Israel and eventual peace accord and up to Sadat s assassination by Islamic extremists in 1981. Through this tumultuous history, Mahfouz takes on a diverse array of political topics-including socioeconomic stratification, democracy and dictatorship, and Islam and extremism-which are still of crucial relevance to Egypt-and the world-today. Clear-eyed and direct, the pieces illuminate Mahfouz s personal and political convictions, which were more often hidden in his novels, enriching his better-known corpus with social, political, and ideological context. This collection is a rare treasure, a story of a time of tremendous social and political change in the Middle East, told by one of its most iconic authors.
