Abstract

The theory of existentialism refers to the fact that human beings are distinctive in having their thoughts will power ability to choose what is good for them and the desire to stay free. Similarly theorists have argued that employees and business persons in organizations are first required to be considered as an individual that helps in findings the relevant roles. Thus it is an ideological philosophy referring to the fact that the purpose of life depends on one’ own will and determination. In the 20th century it rose up as a movement from both literature and philosophical aspects. But it is originally an old concept and the concept of existentialism is evident in many of the novels written by Naguib Mahfouz. For his contributions, he was awarded with Nobel Prize in literature in the year 1988. Cairo Trilogy is one of his most celebrated novels comprising of Palace Walk (1956l, second is Palace of Desire (1957) and the last one is Sugar Street (1957). This paper has discussed the literary profile of Naguib Mahfouz in light of available literature with consideration of his characterization of man and Islamic symbolism.
