This controversial bestselling novel in the Arab world reveals the political corruption, sexual repression, religious extremism, and modern hopes of Egypt today. All manner of flawed and fragile humanity reside in the Yacoubian Building, a once-elegant temple of Art Deco splendor now slowly decaying in the smog and bustle of downtown Cairo: a fading aristocrat and self-proclaimed "scientist of women"; a sultry, voluptuous siren; a devout young student, feeling the irresistible pull toward fundamentalism; a newspaper editor helplessly in love with a policeman; a corrupt and corpulent politician, twisting the Koran to justify his desires. These disparate lives careen toward an explosive conclusion in Alaa Al Aswany's remarkable international bestseller. Teeming with frank sexuality and heartfelt compassion, this book is an important window on to the experience of loss and love in the Arab world.

评分本书以埃及开罗市的一座名叫亚库班公寓的大楼为中心线索，系统展示了埃及当代社会多个阶层人物的面貌和生活。小说对当代埃及旧贵族的颓废生活，民族资本家的荒淫以及既疯狂聚敛财富又同时遭受权贵压榨的命运，小市民一心只想赚钱的庸俗卑劣，年轻人因理想破灭要么走向激进反抗、要么委身堕落状况，都进行了深刻、全面、富于悲悯的表现，具有强烈的社会批判性。
