My uncle and I... and the Immobilia

My uncle and I... and the Immobiliya by Nasser Iraq... The German "Robert Scharfenberg" fled to Egypt to escape the Gestapo men in Nazi Germany, and as he settled and started his work in cinema with the help of his Egyptian friend, that friend died, leaving his only son "Fikri" in Scharfenberg's care. When "Elza," the niece of Scharfenberg, comes to live with him in the Immobiliya building, "Fikri" begins to approach her and try to attract her interest, while Scharfenberg falls in love with "Zuzu," whom Fikri suspects is a spy; he decides to dedicate himself to uncovering the truth about this mysterious woman! The novel narrates in an exciting way the atmosphere of filmmaking in Egypt during the 1940s, expressed by novelist Nasser Iraq in an atmosphere of humor, showing some well-known figures such as Om Kalthoum, Mustafa Nahhas, Salah Abu Sief, and Naguib Mahfouz as active characters within the text, exchanging many concerns and questions about the activities of intelligence agencies in the pre-World War II world, highlighting the political developments during that period, and showcasing its richness and diversity. It advocates for cultural and intellectual pluralism and offers a warm tribute to the era of black-and-white films framed by nostalgia. Nasser Iraq, Dar Al Shorouk for Publishing and Distribution.
