La souffrance a son côté joyeux, le désespoir a sa douceur et la mort a un sens.

- Naguib Mahfouz

[knowbeyondknowing]

A peaceable enough place to sit. No greenery or water, no birds singing on branches, just the bleak, hostile desert ground, which at night wore such mysterious blackness that a dreamer could imagine it to be whatever he wished. The dome of the heavens, studded with stars, the woman inside the hut, and solitude that speaks. Sorrow like coals buried in ashes.

Naguib Mahfouz, Children of the Alley.

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Que celui qui meurt d'amour meurt donc de chagrin, car il n'y a rien de bon à aimer sans mourir.

- Naguib Mahfouz

1994 Attack on Nobel Laurate 1988 Naguib Mahfouz

"Children of Gebelawi", written by Nobel Laurate 1988 Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006 - نجيب محفوظ), was controversial because it reimagined religious figures and narratives in a way that many found provocative. Islamic fundamentalists accused Mahfouz of blasphemy, leading to a fatwa and the novel being banned in Egypt for many years. 

In 1994, Mahfouz survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists angered by "Children of Gebelawi." He was severely injured but remained a steadfast advocate for free expression and intellectual freedom until his death in 2006.

1987 | Naguib Mahfouz :: Em Busca

" (...) uma nuvem sombria ocultou, momentaneamente, o sol e mergulhou o café em profunda obscuridade."

🇪🇬 Cairo: Ponte Kasr el Nil, Zeitoun; Assiut;

volúpia; acirrar; narguillé; sudário;

"a busca é longa e árdua e requer um descanso ocasional, na sombra."

" o cheiro do fósforo misturou-se com o cheiro do amor."

“The old man smiled too. ‘Sometimes a tired thinker may come to the conclusion that the best things in the world are a good meal and a pretty woman.’”

- Miramar by Naguib Mahfouz
