"Mahfuz retrata en "El callejón de los milagros" una sociedad cerrada, frustrada y llena de deseos imposibles a través de una galería de personajes inolvidables. Los personajes maduros prefieren permanecer aislados en su mísero barrio, manteniendo una apariencia de normalidad y una falsa atmósfera del pasado, en lugar de adaptarse a los tiempos cambiantes. Por su parte, los jóvenes sueñan con aventuras, riquezas y placeres y sobre todo con salir del barrio. Se trata de una obra que muestra una representación atemporal del conflicto entre la tradición y la modernidad, entre el pasado y el presente. La novela forma parte de la llamada pentalogía realista de Mahfuz, un grupo de cinco obras publicadas entre 1945 y 1957 de marcado corte realista centradas en la vida cotidiana de las clases populares y la pequeña burguesía de El Cairo en aquella época."@es
"Considered by many to be Mahfouz's best novel, Midaq Alley centers around the residents of one of the hustling, teeming back alleys of Cairo. Also includes two of his other novels: Miramar, a tale of intersecting lives that provides us with a portrait of life in Egypt in the late 1960's; and The Thief and the Dogs, which depicts the fate of a Marxist thief, who has been released from prison and plans revenge."@en
