For Mahfouz, Cairo has always been a place of special resonance, a city he loves and has revisited in his writings. Britta Le Va guides us through his pages and treads his streets to produce a collection of visual images of the city. In his introduction, novelist Gamal al-Ghitani describes his walking tour with the great man around the streets of Gamaliya, that historic heart of the old city where both of them - more than 30 years apart - grew up. Along the way Mahfouz reminisces on what has changed in eight decades.
