A Journey

It was interesting as I read The journey of Ibn Fattouma by Naguib Mahfouz to try to figure out what countries he was talking about in the different stories, was the land of Halba for example really the U.S. Or perhaps Great Britain or France? There were many things that fit all three countries and some things that fitted none. It was a true journey of society and knowledge and Mahfouz ease of storytelling made the journey all worth while.
