Children of Gebelawi
Children of Gabalawi, (أولاد حارتنا) is a novel by the Egyptian writer and Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. It is also known by its Egyptian dialectal transliteration, ''Awlad Haretna'', formal Arabic transliteration, ''Awlaadu Haaratena'' and by the alternative translated transliteral Arabic title of "Children of Our Alley".
==Reception==
It was originally published in Arabic in 1959, in serialised form, in the daily newspaper ''Al-Ahram''. It was met with severe opposition from religious authorities, and publication in the form of a book was banned in Egypt.〔Hafez, Sabry: "Introduction" to ''The Cairo Trilogy''. Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 2001. pg xxxiv.〕
It was first printed in Lebanon in 1967. An English translation by Philip Stewart was published in 1981 and is still in print; when Stewart refused to sell his copyright, Doubleday commissioned a new version by Peter Theroux.
It was this book that earned Naguib Mahfouz condemnation from Omar Abdel-Rahman in 1989, after the Nobel Prize had revived interest in it. As a result, in 1994 – a day after the anniversary of the prize – Mahfouz was attacked and stabbed in the neck by two extremists outside his Cairo home.〔Hafez, op. cit., pg. xlii.〕 Fortunately, Mahfouz survived the attack, yet he suffered from its consequences till his last day.
