  Nagib Mahfuz - Wikipedia
Nagib Mahfuz wuchs als Sohn eines Beamten in einem Kairoer Altstadtviertel auf, wie er es später in vielen seiner Romane schildern sollte.
Auch wegen seiner Unterstützung des Friedensprozesses mit Israel wurde Mahfuz zum Ziel scharfer Kritik aus fundamentalistischen und arabisch-nationalistischen Kreisen.
Nagib Mahfuz tritt nach wie vor gegen die Ideen eines fundamentalistischen Islam, für eine Trennung von Staat und Religion und für eine säkulare, demokratische Gesellschaftsordnung ein.

 Najib Mahfuz Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Mahfuz, who is sometimes referred to as the "Balzac of the Arabs," was an ardent admirer of the Russian classics.
Mahfuz also wrote many scripts for works of other writers, which may perhaps explain the mastery of cinematic techniques that is manifest in his own writings.
Mahfuz had previously defended Rushie, but in an interview with Charlotte El Shabrawy, he told her he had been unaware of the contests of Rushdie's novel.

 El callejón de los milagros; Naguib Mahfuz
Mahfuz nació en El Cairo y estudió en la universidad Rey Faruk I. Nuestro autor es el menor de siete hijos de un funcionario de bajo rango, adquirió un profundo conocimiento de literatura medieval y arábiga mientras aún estudiaba el bachillerato.
Mahfuz, en sus obras de la segunda etapa, suele hablarnos sobre la presión que se vive en Egipto antes y después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
En esta fase Mahfuz tendrá un tono pesimista que mantendrá en sus obras y se valdrá también del “destino” para justificar todo lo que les ocurre a sus personajes.

 His fiction brought Cairo to life: Naguib Mahfuz -DAWN - International; September 01, 2006
LOS ANGELES: Naguib Mahfuz, who died on Wednesday, was the first Arab author to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature — for novels that evoked the scent, colour and texture of life in the streets of his native Cairo.
After Mahfuz was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1988, British and US publishers rushed to market an English translation of the trilogy to satisfy the curiosity of readers, most of whom had never heard of the Egyptian literary lion.
Mahfuz was born on December 11, 1911, the youngest of seven children.

Mahfuz, el novelista más importante del mundo árabe y uno de sus faros intelectuales, cuenta que tuvo una infancia feliz.
Leer a Mahfuz -considerado como el mejor retratista de la sociedad cairota del siglo XX, un maestro del realismo egipcio y el mejor escritor en una de las lenguas más habladas del mundo- es descubrir la carga de humanidad, pasión, humor y ternura tan característicos de él y de la gente de su país.
Mahfuz considera que los integristas son una excrecencia nefasta y temporal del islam, se alarma al ver que los israelíes, a los que considera un pueblo muy civilizado, sean capaces de actuar así contra la segunda Intifada y todavía piensa que si Estados Unidos no arregla lo de Oriente Próximo nadie lo hará.

 Egypt's Nobel writer Nagib Mahfuz dies
Mahfuz, who was almost killed in 1994 when a radical Islamist stabbed him, was admitted to an interior ministry hospital in Cairo in mid-July suffering from various kidney problems, pneumonia and other ailments related to his age.
Mahfuz "was an exceptional writer, an enlightened and creative thinker, an author who brought Arab culture and literature to the world's attention," a statement from Mubarak's office said.
Mahfuz was taken to intensive care on August 14 and had remained in critical condition ever since despite improving slightly in recent days.

The reason given by Muhamad for rejecting Mahfuz's motion in chambers is most outlandish and outrageous - that it is "sub judice" to discuss the ISA crackdown against the Reformasi Seven because there are habeas corpus applications for the detainees in the courts.
Muhamad had acted arbitrarily in rejecting Mahfuz's motion on the ISA arrests as he could not possibly present any case as to how such a parliamentary debate could "prejudice the interests of the parties" to the habeas corpus applications before the courts.
Mahfuz should be allowed to move his 18(1) motion to adjourn the House for an urgent debate on the ISA arrests when Parliament resumes its meeting tomorrow.

Nagib Mahfuz, Egypt's most celebrated author and the only Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, died Wednesday at the age of 94, several weeks after his health abruptly deteriorated.
In 1988, Mahfuz became the first Arab writer to be awarded the Nobel prize for literature, notably for the universal character of his art, which was considered a metaphor for relations between people in communities worldwide.
Mahfuz studied philosophy at King Fuad I University (Cairo University), graduating in 1934 and working for a few years in the university's administration.

From that point of view at least, the selection of works mentioned in Mahfuz's Nobel citation (all written before 1967) was an accurate reflection of a genuine watershed in the modern history of the Arab world.
This process is seen at its most bitter in Algeria, where the depth of French political and cultural penetration (beginning as early as 1830) led to a vicious war that resulted in independence but did not resolve many internal issues which continue to beset that society to this very day.
Chief among them is, of course, Najib Mahfuz himself, who - unfortunately, in my opinion - has termed the different colloquial dialects of Arabic a "disease" and yet is not averse to including individual items from the local vocabulary of Egypt in his novels.

 PM’s statements on use of English in schools ‘a political ploy’, says Mahfuz - Malaysiakini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Mahfuz said he believed the Barisan Nasional government created the issue “to divert peoples’ attention, especially the fresh graduates who are jobless, by blaming their poor command of English as the reason for their being unemployed”.
Mahfuz, who is also Pokok Sena member of parliament, said the BN government has tried to rush through this public policy without proper research or any feedback from the public.
However, Mahfuz agreed with the government’s move to set up the Professional Committee of the Education Ministry, led by education director-general Abdul Rafie Mahat, to study the government’s capacity to implement the new policy.

Mahfuz writes about life in the hara, or neighborhood, for example, but avoids colloquial Egyptian in favor of literary Arabic.
