He finds a world that has changed in more ways than one. Egypt has undergone a revolution and, on a more personal level, his beloved wife and his trusted henchman, who conspired to betray him to the police, are now married to each other and are keeping his six-year-old daughter from him. But in the most bitter betrayal, his mentor, Rauf Ilwan, once a firebrand revolutionary who convinced Said that stealing from the rich in a unjust society is an act of justice, is now himself a rich man, a respected newspaper editor who wants nothing to do with the disgraced Said. As Said's wild attempts to achieve his idea of justice badly misfire, he becomes a hunted man so driven by hatred that he can only recognize too late his last chance at redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Thief and the Dogs | Naguib Mahfouz | Paperback | 9780385264624 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1649748","offer_id":48753931550872,"sku":"1649748","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thief and the Dogs | Naguib Mahfouz | Paperback | 9780385264624 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1748185","offer_id":48855920017560,"sku":"1748185","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61u456Qyu1L.jpg?v=1774069190","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/thief-and-the-dogs","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
