Naguib Mahfouz (December 11, 1911 -- August 30, 2006) was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is regarded as one of the first contemporary writers of Arabic literature, along with Tawfiq el-Hakim, to explore themes of existentialism.[ He published over 50 novels, over 350 short stories, dozens of movie scripts, and five plays over a 70-year career. Many of his works have been made into Egyptian and foreign films.
Mahfouz was Born into a lower middle-class Muslim family in the Gamaleyya quarter of Cairo, Mahfouz was named after Professor Naguib Pasha Mahfouz (1882--1974), the renowned Coptic physician who delivered him. Mahfouz was the seventh and the youngest child in a family that had five boys and two girls. The family lived in two popular districts of the town, in el-Gamaleyya, from where they moved in 1924 to el-Abbaseyya, then a new Cairo suburb; both provided the backdrop for many of Mahfouz's writings. His father, whom Mahfouz described as having been "old-fashioned", was a civil servant, and Mahfouz eventually followed in his footsteps. In his childhood Mahfouz read extensively. His mother often took him to museums and Egyptian history later became a major theme in many of his books.
Most of Mahfouz's early works were set in el-Gamaleyya. Abath Al-Aqdar (Mockery of the Fates) (1939), Rhadopis (1943), and Kifah Tibah (The Struggle of Thebes) (1944), were historical novels, written as part of a larger unfulfilled project of 30 novels. Inspired by Sir Walter Scott (1771--1832) Mahfouz planned to cover the whole history of Egypt in a series of books. However, following the third volume, Mahfouz shifted his interest to the present, the psychological impact of the social change on ordinary people.
Mahfouz's central work in the 1950s was the Cairo Trilogy, an immense monumental work of 1,500 pages, which the author completed before the July Revolution. The novels were titled with the street names Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, and Sugar Street. Mahfouz set the story in the parts of Cairo where he grew up. They depict the life of the patriarch el-Sayyed Ahmed Abdel Gawad and his family over three generations, from World War I to the 1950s, when King Farouk Iwas overthrown. With its rich variety of characters and psychological understanding, the work connected Mahfouz to such authors as Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoy, and Galsworthy. Mahfouz ceased to write for some years after finishing the trilogy. Disappointed in the Nasser régime, which had overthrown the monarchy in 1952, he started publishing again in 1959, now prolifically pouring out novels, short stories, journalism, memoirs, essays, and screenplays.
Tharthara Fawq Al-Nīl ("Chatter on the Nile"; 1966) is one of his most popular novels. It was later made into a film featuring a cast of top actors during the time of president Anwar al-Sadat. The film/story criticizes the decadence of Egyptian society during the Nasser era. It was banned by Sadat to avoid provocation of Egyptians who still loved former president Nasser. Copies were hard to find prior to the late 1990s. In the 1960s and 1970s Mahfouz began to construct his novels more freely and to use interior monologues. In Miramar (1967) he developed a form of multiple first-person narration. Four narrators, among them a Socialist and a Nasserite opportunist, represent different political views. In the center of the story is an attractive servant girl. In Arabian Nights and Days (1981) and in The Journey of Ibn Fatouma (1983) Mahfouz drew on traditional Arabic narratives as subtexts.Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth (1985) is about conflict between old and new religious truths.
Many of his novels were first published in serialized form, including Children of Gebelawi and Midaq Alley which was adapted into a Mexican film starring Salma Hayek (El callejón de los milagros).
Most of Mahfouz's writings mainly dealt with politics, a fact which he himself once emphasized: "In all my writings, you will find politics. You may find a story which ignores love or any other subject, but not politics; it is the very axis of our thinking". He greatly espoused Egyptian nationalism in many of his works, and expressed sympathies for the post-World-War era Wafd Party. He was also attracted to socialist and democratic ideals early on in his youth. The influence of socialist ideals is strongly reflected in his first two novels, Al-Khalili and New Cairo, and also in many of his latter works. However, in spite of his firm belief in socialism, Mahfouz was never a Marxist in any sense of the word.

Famous quotes by Naguib Mahfouz:
"an Arabian narrative art that applies to all mankind."
"Happy is he who can give himself up."
"You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions."
"The writer interweaves a story with his own doubts, questions, and values. That is art."
"I was suffering from a peculiar and persistent sense that I was being pursued, and also the conviction that under the political order of the times, our lives had no meaning."
"According to Islamic principles, when a man is accused of heresy, he is given the choice between repentance and punishment."
"I didn't make any money from my writing until much later. I published about 80 stories for nothing. I spent on literature."
"I started writing while I was a little boy. Maybe it's because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me."
"In Egypt today most people are concerned with getting bread to eat. Only some of the educated understand how democracy works."
"The Arab world also won the Nobel with me. I believe that international doors have opened, and that from now on, literate people will consider Arab literature also. We deserve that recognition."
"The Koran and the laws of all civilized nations legislate against the vilification of religions."
"I love Sufism as I love beautiful poetry, but it is not the answer. Sufism is like a mirage in the desert. It says to you, come and sit, relax and enjoy yourself for a while."
"I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write, I prefer to write in the morning until midday, and in the afternoon, I eat."
"I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday."
"If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion."
"I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things."
"We are like a woman with a difficult pregnancy. We have to rebuild the social classes in Egypt, and we must change the way things were."
"It's clearly more important to treat one's fellow man well than to be always praying and fasting and touching one's head to a prayer mat."
"Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization."
"We used the Western style to express our own themes and stories. But don't forget that our heritage includes The Thousand and One Nights."

Naguib Mahfouz (December 11, 1911 -- August 30, 2006) was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is regarded as one of the first contemporary writers of Arabic literature, along with Tawfiq el-Hakim, to explore themes of existentialism.[ He published over 50 novels, over 350 short stories, dozens of movie scripts, and five plays over a 70-year career. Many of his works have been made into Egyptian and foreign films.
Mahfouz was Born into a lower middle-class Muslim family in the Gamaleyya quarter of Cairo, Mahfouz was named after Professor Naguib Pasha Mahfouz (1882--1974), the renowned Coptic physician who delivered him. Mahfouz was the seventh and the youngest child in a family that had five boys and two girls. The family lived in two popular districts of the town, in el-Gamaleyya, from where they moved in 1924 to el-Abbaseyya, then a new Cairo suburb; both provided the backdrop for many of Mahfouz's writings. His father, whom Mahfouz described as having been "old-fashioned", was a civil servant, and Mahfouz eventually followed in his footsteps. In his childhood Mahfouz read extensively. His mother often took him to museums and Egyptian history later became a major theme in many of his books.
Most of Mahfouz's early works were set in el-Gamaleyya. Abath Al-Aqdar (Mockery of the Fates) (1939), Rhadopis (1943), and Kifah Tibah (The Struggle of Thebes) (1944), were historical novels, written as part of a larger unfulfilled project of 30 novels. Inspired by Sir Walter Scott (1771--1832) Mahfouz planned to cover the whole history of Egypt in a series of books. However, following the third volume, Mahfouz shifted his interest to the present, the psychological impact of the social change on ordinary people.
Mahfouz's central work in the 1950s was the Cairo Trilogy, an immense monumental work of 1,500 pages, which the author completed before the July Revolution. The novels were titled with the street names Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, and Sugar Street. Mahfouz set the story in the parts of Cairo where he grew up. They depict the life of the patriarch el-Sayyed Ahmed Abdel Gawad and his family over three generations, from World War I to the 1950s, when King Farouk Iwas overthrown. With its rich variety of characters and psychological understanding, the work connected Mahfouz to such authors as Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoy, and Galsworthy. Mahfouz ceased to write for some years after finishing the trilogy. Disappointed in the Nasser régime, which had overthrown the monarchy in 1952, he started publishing again in 1959, now prolifically pouring out novels, short stories, journalism, memoirs, essays, and screenplays.
Tharthara Fawq Al-Nīl ("Chatter on the Nile"; 1966) is one of his most popular novels. It was later made into a film featuring a cast of top actors during the time of president Anwar al-Sadat. The film/story criticizes the decadence of Egyptian society during the Nasser era. It was banned by Sadat to avoid provocation of Egyptians who still loved former president Nasser. Copies were hard to find prior to the late 1990s. In the 1960s and 1970s Mahfouz began to construct his novels more freely and to use interior monologues. In Miramar (1967) he developed a form of multiple first-person narration. Four narrators, among them a Socialist and a Nasserite opportunist, represent different political views. In the center of the story is an attractive servant girl. In Arabian Nights and Days (1981) and in The Journey of Ibn Fatouma (1983) Mahfouz drew on traditional Arabic narratives as subtexts.Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth (1985) is about conflict between old and new religious truths.
Many of his novels were first published in serialized form, including Children of Gebelawi and Midaq Alley which was adapted into a Mexican film starring Salma Hayek (El callejón de los milagros).
Most of Mahfouz's writings mainly dealt with politics, a fact which he himself once emphasized: "In all my writings, you will find politics. You may find a story which ignores love or any other subject, but not politics; it is the very axis of our thinking". He greatly espoused Egyptian nationalism in many of his works, and expressed sympathies for the post-World-War era Wafd Party. He was also attracted to socialist and democratic ideals early on in his youth. The influence of socialist ideals is strongly reflected in his first two novels, Al-Khalili and New Cairo, and also in many of his latter works. However, in spite of his firm belief in socialism, Mahfouz was never a Marxist in any sense of the word.

Denys Johnson-Davies has produced more than thirty volumes of translation of modern Arabic literature, including The Essential Tawfiq al-Hakim (AUC Press, 2008)...
Denys Johnson-Davies has produced more than thirty volumes of translation of modern Arabic literature, including The Essential Tawfiq al-Hakim (AUC Press, 2008), The Essential Yusuf Idris (AUC Press, 2009), and more recently, The Essential Naguib Mahfouz (AUC Press, 2011).
The renowned literary critic and professor of English and comparative literature Edward Said described Denys Johnson-Davies as "the leading Arabic--English translator of our time."
As AUC Press celebrates this year the centennial of Mahfouz's birth, Johnson-Davies, who also translated some of Mahfouz's novels, including Arabian Nights and Days (AUC Press, 1996) and The Journey of Ibn Fattouma (AUC Press, 1997), in this interview, speaks about his translator career and about his friend.
These are the questions Denys Johnson-Davies answered:
* About translating
How do you decide which / what book you want to translate?
What makes a book worth translating?
What do you like about translating?
Does a translator have a style of translation and can it actually infringe on the author's original literary style? Is this part of a good translation?
Why do you think Edward Said called you "the leading Arabic--English translator of our time"?
Do you think there is a lot of talent today among young Arab writers?
Which book have you most enjoyed translating over all these years?
What Arab writer do you most enjoy reading?
* About Naguib Mahfouz
Which of Mahfouz's writing do you prefer?
You once said about Mahfouz: "Mahfouz also rendered Arabic literature a great service by developing, over the years, a form of language in which many of the archaisms and clichés that had become fashionable were discarded, a language that could serve as an adequate instrument for the writing of fiction in these times." Can you elaborate on what you mean by "archaisms and clichés"?
What other aspects made Mahfouz such a great writer?
Is there a more contemporary Arab writer that can match Mahfouz's pen?
How well did you know Naguib Mahfouz and how would you describe him?
How do you think Mahfouz would have reacted to Egypt's 25 January revolution?
What do you consider a 'good' translation?
Is there a final comment that you wish to make about Naguib Mahfouz or translating?
In 2007, Johnson-Davies received the Sheikh Zayed Book Award for Personality of the Year in the Field of Culture.
He spent his childhood in Sudan, Egypt, Uganda, and Kenya, and attended boarding school in England at age 12. He studied Oriental languages at Cambridge, and has lectured about translation and English literature at several universities across the Arab World.

STORYLINE:
Egypt's leading Muslim clerics led mourners in special prayers on Thursday for the country's Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz, who was condemned by some Islamic people who regarded certain of his novels as sacrilegious.
Mahfouz, the only Arab to have won a Nobel Prize for literature, died on Wednesday aged 94.
Mahfouz, whose novels depicted Egyptian life in his beloved corner of ancient Cairo, was admitted to the hospital more than a month ago after falling in his home and injuring his head.
Doctors confirmed that he died on Wednesday.
At his funeral, his coffin was wrapped in green shroud with the words "there is no God but God" in white letters.
Crowds of mourners stood outside the funeral to pay tribute to Mahfouz.
A former student of Mahfouz, Ali Saed, was markedly upset, and held a poster of Mahfouz.
"I am going through a very difficult time that I am really unable to bear. He was more than a father to me and I cried today even more than I cried when my father died", he said.
After the funeral the Grand Shaikh of Al Azhar, Sayed Tantawi, said he would pray to God to have mercy on Mahfouz.
"I pray to God Almighty to forgive the international writer Mr Naguib Mahfouz, bestow mercy upon his soul, and take him into heaven."
Mahfouz stirred controversy among conservatives with his calls for religious tolerance.
In 1994, an Islamic militant stabbed him after accusing him of blasphemy because of one his novels, "Children of Gebelaya," a religious allegory that depicted Islam's prophet, Muhammad.
Mahfouz was also stabbed by a militant after a fatwa issued in 1989 by Egyptian radical Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman in which he said that Mahfouz deserved to die for his novel.

STORYLINE:
The condition of ailing Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz worsened on Thursday, his doctor has announced.
Mahfouz' condition is now being described as "very critical" by his doctor.
Mahfouz, 94, was admitted to hospital in Cairo on July 19 after suffering a head injury in a fall.
He was rushed later to intensive care after suffering a sudden drop in blood pressure and kidney dysfunction.
He suffered internal bleeding on Tuesday night but was reported stable the following day, doctors said.
However, bleeding has resumed and doctors are having trouble stopping it, they said.
Mahfouz was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize for literature for his Cairo Trilogy, which describes life in the 1,000-year-old Islamic quarter of Cairo where he was born, and for "The Children of the Alley," which Islamic extremists deemed blasphemous.
Mahfouz survived an assassination attempt in 1994 when an Islamic militant stabbed him outside his Cairo home, damaging nerves leading to his right arm and seriously impairing his ability to write.

Translating from Arabic: Humphrey Davies talks about the realities and challenges
In the past decade, award-winning, Cairo-based translator Humphrey Davies has rendered fifteen AUC Press titles from Arabic into English. He translates both classical and colloquial Arabic texts and the topics can range from a jihadist's autobiography and the cultural legacy of Turks in Egypt, to an eclectic variety of Arabic literature, including works by internationally-acclaimed writers such as Naguib Mahfouz and Alaa Al Aswany. Today Humphrey Davies is widely regarded as one of the best translators from Arabic into English, having already received a number of literary prizes.
