Religión, cultura e identidad en la obra de Naguib Mahfuz.

Egyptian Nobel prize Naguib Mahfuz's literature is situated there where the contemporary interest for Islam and the philosophy of religion meet. His prolific work shows how religion permeates life in the Arab world. By the analysis of a short tale, we try to present Mahfuz's own conception of Islam: that of a sound realism, which instinctively takes us beyond any kind of ideological or religious fanaticism.
