The strong one
(Al Fûttuwa)

by Salah ABOU SEIF

The rise of a sturdy villager in Cairo’s halls of commerce, where anything goes, including murder, to protect “business” and eliminate troublemakers. An astonishing portrait of a little-known world, popular, jovial and brutal, dominated by a wealthy underworld.
