Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[A] hilarious, sensual, bawdy and beautiful novel."--Nerve

"Captivating and controversial .. . .an amazing glimpse of modern Egyptian society and culture."--New York Review of Books

"...tremendously likable.... This vision of life connects high with low, rich with poor, through shared vices and needs."--San Francisco Chronicle

Reseña del editor:

The lives and fortunes of the inhabitants of the Yacoubian Building, a once elegant, Art Deco apartment building in the heart of downtown Cairo, intertwine as the destinies of a fading aristocrat, voluptuous siren, devout young doorman, secretly gay newspaper editor, roof-squatting tailor, and corrupt politician come together. Reader's Guide available. Original. 40,000 first printing.
