Los sueños / The Dreams

The story weaves between past and present in a way that feels both seamless and disorienting. I wonder if this was inspired by actual memories or a deliberate artistic choice.

The book's exploration of identity and the passage of time left me pondering my own sense of self. Was this emotional response intentional on Mahfouz's part?

The Egyptian backdrop adds so much depth and atmosphere. I'm curious whether Mahfouz drew from personal experience or historical context when crafting this world.
