About This Item
Naguib Mahfouz' brilliant, intrigue-woven, timeless and witty satire, Arabian Nights and Days. We are honored that this Nobel Prize winning author chose to have us to publish his 1979 masterpiece.
For the prints, Mahfouz wisely chose his friend, the superb Cairo artist, Nazli Madkour. We were amazed when we saw her images. So intricate and luminous, they dance before the eyes. Almost three dimensional, their portrayals capture the essence of Mahfouz' wicked, biting, horrifying, at times amusing novel. We produced the prints by the serigraph giclee pro-cess that produces rich, deep saturated color, the only process that could do them justice.
Seven color serigraph giclee prints by Nazli Madkour.
Edition limited to 300 numbered copies.
Each book signed by Naguib Mahfouz and Nazli Madkour.
English translation by Denys Johnson-Davies. Printed letterpress on paper specially milled in Germany. Mohamed Zakariya's gold calligraphy is set into the natural colored linen binding. Hand sewn and hand bound. The same linen covers its hinged and lined case.
One volume, 16 x 16 inches.
As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS).
