Our neighborhood boys - Naguib Mahfouz

They dispute over the endowment, while the bullies control the neighborhood and prevent the sons of Al-Jiblaoui from reaching their earthly paradise, where the offspring have settled outside the walls of the big house since Adham and Idris were expelled. Despite their poverty and the injustice they face, they do not lose hope that Al-Jiblaoui will come out of his isolation to distribute his inheritance and free them from the bullies' tyranny. In every generation, a savior appears whom people cling to and rise up with against injustice, but greed and ignorance ultimately bring them back to what they were. The novel was published in Al-Ahram newspaper in 1959 and caused a great controversy, which delayed its publication in a book for eight years.
