Summary: Dynamics from the New Egyptian order
Comment: In the Autumn Quail Mahfouz traces the relationship of the past and present within the Egyptian Revolution and the possibilities of co-operation and coexistence in the future. Autumn Quail provides the reader with the sentiments and insights on the Revolution put into play by the language of the characters which are from different social background and varying political affiliations. It plays on several themes of alienation; downfall; morality and responsibility.

Summary: Revolution and after.
Comment: A high placed officer looses his job after the Nasser revolution of 1952 in Egypt, because during his office he received some 'presents', as nearly everybody in some places did.
His lover leaves him. He cuts all ties with his acquaintances, becomes an alcoholic, fathers a child with a prostitute but doesn't recognize it. Will he, after all, escape out of the prison of his previous life and make the jump to a new one?
Read this beautiful story about " ... quail ... swooping in to land exhausted at the end of their long, predestined, illusory heroic flight."
A reflection on the impact of a national revolution on the life of a citizen.
