The Aesthetic of Revolution in the Film and Literature of Naguib Mahfouz (1952–1967) examines the impact of revolution on one of the great literary minds of the twentieth century: the Egyptian Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. Concentrating on the years following the 1952 Free-Officers’ Coup that brought to an end British colonialism in Egypt, this book is the first full-length study in English to analyze Mahfouz’s turn to screenplay writing and to examine the significance of that move within the context of post-revolutionary Egyptian politics and culture.
