Representing the nation
Next month sees the publication by Everyman's Library of a single-volume edition of Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo Trilogy, a first in the English-language publication of the Nobel laureate's work. To mark the occasion we publish below Sabry Hafez's new introduction to the Trilogy, a landmark in modern Arabic literature
