  4. Naguib Mahfouz—Education & Background Naguib Mahfouz was born on the 11th Dec. 1911 in an old quarter of Cairo, the youngest son of a merchant. He studied philosophy（哲学）at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration（行政部门） and then in 1939 he worked for the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organization at the Ministry of Culture(文化部）. He also worked as a journalist（记者）.

  5. Although widely translated, his works are not available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat’s Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived an assassination（暗杀）attempt by Islamic extremists（极端主义分子）. He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo. Naguib Mahfouz—Education & Background

  6. Naguib Mahfouz—— how he pictures the world The picture of the world as it emerges（出现） from the bulk (大量） of Mahfouz’s work is very gloomy（暗淡的；阴沉的；令人沮丧的） indeed, though not completely disappointing. It shows that the author’s social utopia (乌托邦；理想国）is far from being realized. Mahfouz seems to conceive o f（构思；想象） time as a force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the carrier of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.

  7. Naguib Mahfouz—— how he pictures the world To sum up, in Mahfouz’s dark description of the world there are only two bright spots（点）. These consist of man's continuing struggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.
