In 'Dreams of the Convalescence Period,' Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz presents a profound collection of vignettes. Written late in his life after an assassination attempt limited his physical ability to write, these pieces are powerful, dream-like reflections. The book navigates the surreal landscapes of memory, philosophy, and the subconscious, offering a deeply personal and poignant glimpse into the mind of a literary master confronting his own mortality and legacy. This collection is a unique and essential capstone to his magnificent career.
