Egyptian Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz draws on his homeland’s rich engagement with the afterlife–and his own near-death experience at the hands of a would-be assassin–in these newly translated, brilliantly mysterious stories of the supernatural. Among those who haunt these tales are the ghosts of Akhenaten, Woodrow Wilson, and Gamal Abd al-Nasser, who endure a strange system of earthly probation in the hope of gaining entry to the fabled Seventh Heaven; a teenager drawn into the secret, enchanted life he finds within his neighborhood’s forbidden wood; an honest perfume seller accosted on a night out by angry skeletons; and Satan himself, who confesses that there is still, despite the flood of evil in our times, an honorable man in the land. As ingenious at capturing the surreal as he is at documenting the very real social landscape of modern Cairo, Mahfouz guides these restless spirits as they migrate from the shadowy realms of other worlds to the haunted precincts of our own.

An exposé on two trees in the Garden of Eden - the Tree of Life and the Tree of Good and Evil. A journey of self-discovery: From being misplaced to discovering our true identity and pre-ordained path, while learning to remove obstacles in the way of our God-ordained purpose. STEP INTO THE NEXT LEVEL OF LIFE! You are the Tree, an exposé on the two trees in the Garden of Eden, opens up on the power within you, either to be the tree of life - which is the expression of God through flesh - or the tree of good and evil. The author expounds deeply on the forbidden apple, which is the "way without God; the path of self; the way of disobedience." She explains the consequences of "giving the forbidden apple a bite," which is to make a decision to follow your own path in life, instead of God's. Learn in this blockbuster book, how you can differentiate between the voice of the snake and that of God, which is the first major struggle of many people. And, how you can put the "snakes" - the wrong voices and influences - out of the garden of your life. This is your season to step into the next level of life! Review BRILLIANT! A MUST READ! A MUST SHARE! As an author and bible scholar I avoid writing reviews about fellow authors but when you read biblical literary works like this you feel compelled as a Servant of God to tell others. This a masterpiece from cover to cover. This book will change your life and inspire you to become who God "planted" you to be. You will know from the beginning of this book that the author is connected with God. Wow....Breathtaking. Whether you are a believer or not you will be different when you are done reading this book.
