Final decision

Naguib Mahfouz tells you stories; there is the story of the domineering father who tightens his grip on his children, the story of the woman who seduces the man with her beauty and causes him to lose his dearest friends, and the story of childhood and youth memories, lifelong friends, and the crushing defeat in the era of liberalization after the end of the illusion of socialism.

"The Final Decision" is a collection of 24 short stories, the first edition of which was published in 1996. Its world is the Egyptian neighborhood with its alleys and shops, and the stories of houses, shops, shrines, saints' tombs, strongmen, and the poor. These are our stories.

"The law is poor, and it is only applied to the poor."
