About this Novel
A tale from the city of Alexandria unfolds, featuring two neighboring merchants, Abukir and Abusir, who have contrasting personalities and professions. Abukir is a dishonest and unscrupulous individual, while Abusir is a barber with a more virtuous disposition. Abukir is described as untrustworthy, deceitful, unfaithful, greedy, and without shame. He is characterized as a perpetual liar, always making false promises, betraying trust, and driven by insatiable greed. His avarice knows no bounds, and he is exceedingly stingy, lacking compassion for others' suffering. Abukir's primary occupation is as a carpenter, but his behavior is far from ethical. He frequently engages in dishonest practices when given clothing to dye. He starts by requesting money from the owner, claiming it is for the purchase of tools. Once he receives the funds, he takes the clothes, sells them, and uses the proceeds to acquire unrelated items like camel dung, rice, nuts, and cigarettes. Upon the owner's return, Abukir offers a series of excuses, making promises to complete the work. His victims are left with no choice but to return on subsequent days, hearing more elaborate lies and enduring further delays.
