The Cairo Trilogy ((アラビア語:الثلاثية) (''The Trilogy'') or (''The Cairo Trilogy'')) is a trilogy of novels written by the Egyptian novelist and Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz, and one of the prime works of his literary career that the Nobel committee cited as justification for his being awarded the prize. The three novels are, in order: * ''Palace Walk'' (original Arabic title: , ''Bayn al-Qasrayn'', first Arabic publication 1956) * ''Palace of Desire'' ( , ''Qasr al-Shawq'', 1957) * ''Sugar Street'' ( , ''Al-Sukkariyya'', 1957) ==Titles== The three novels' Arabic titles are taken from the names of actual streets in Cairo, the city of Mahfouz's childhood and youth. The first novel, ''Bayn al-Qasrayn'', is named after the medieval Cairo street in the Gamaliya district where the strict socially conservative protagonist, Ahmad 'Abd al-Jawad, and his family live. The second novel, ''Qasr al-Shawq'', is named after the street where his eldest son Yasin and his family live, whereas the third, ''Al-Sukkariyya'', is named after the street where his daughter Khadijah and her family live. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cairo Trilogy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
