Marouf: The Cobbler of Cairo is a comedy-opera written in five acts by the French author J. C. Mardrus. The story is set in Cairo, Egypt, and follows the life of Marouf, a poor cobbler who is married to a shrewish wife. One day, Marouf is mistaken for a wealthy merchant and is invited to the palace of the Caliph, where he is treated like royalty. Marouf enjoys his newfound status but is eventually exposed as a fraud and is banished from the palace. However, with the help of his wit and charm, Marouf manages to regain his status and win the heart of the Caliph's daughter. The opera is a lighthearted and humorous tale that explores themes of social class, identity, and love. Mardrus's writing is rich in detail and provides a vivid portrayal of life in Cairo during the early 20th century. Overall, Marouf: The Cobbler of Cairo is an entertaining and engaging read that offers a glimpse into a fascinating cultural world.English Translation By Martia Leonard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
