El utilitarismo en *Ziqaq Al-Midaq* de Mahfouz y *Tiempos difíciles* de Dickens
Este libro pretende demostrar el impacto del lado negativo del utilitarismo en los principios morales de la sociedad, tal y como se refleja en *Tiempos difíciles* de Dickens y en *Ziqaq Al-Midaq* de Mahfouz. El libro también se centra en descubrir las similitudes y diferencias entre el punto de vista de Dickens sobre el utilitarismo y el de Mahfouz, especialmente en cómo se refleja este concepto en las sociedades occidentales y orientales. Ambas obras muestran la lucha de las personas por hacer frente a las consecuencias que ha dejado el utilitarismo, junto con sus efectos negativos en la estructura social y la moral en su conjunto. Los siglos XVIII y XIX llegaron a impulsar el espíritu del cambio en todo el mundo gracias a los descubrimientos geográficos occidentales. Occidente comenzó a aplicar sus teorías en Oriente, algo que se refleja en los escritos de Naguib Mahfouz y otros novelistas orientales. Además, Mahfouz basó su filosofía en las ideas de pensadores occidentales, como Charles Darwin, Mill, Freud y Bentham. Las condiciones de vida de Mahfouz le llevaron a plantearse reformas sociales en su obra Ziqaq Al-Midaq para abogar por la mejora de la clase baja, con el fin de que se acercara a las demás clases, mediante la eliminación de la opresión por parte de la clase alta.

L'utilitarisme dans *Ziqaq Al-Midaq* de Mahfouz et *Hard Times* de Dickens
Cet ouvrage vise à démontrer l'impact des aspects négatifs de l'utilitarisme sur les principes moraux de la société, tels qu'ils sont reflétés dans *Hard Times* de Dickens et *Ziqaq Al-Midaq* de Mahfouz. Il s'attache également à mettre en évidence les similitudes et les différences entre le point de vue de Dickens et celui de Mahfouz sur l'utilitarisme, en particulier la manière dont ce concept se reflète dans les sociétés occidentales et orientales. Ces œuvres montrent la lutte des gens pour contrer les conséquences laissées par l'utilitarisme, ainsi que ses effets néfastes sur la structure sociale et la morale dans leur ensemble. Les XVIIIe et XIXe siècles ont été porteurs d'un vent de changement à travers le monde, grâce aux découvertes géographiques occidentales. L'Occident a commencé à appliquer ses théories à l'Orient, comme en témoignent les écrits de Naguib Mahfouz et d'autres romanciers orientaux. De plus, Mahfouz a fondé sa philosophie sur les idées de penseurs occidentaux tels que Charles Darwin, Mill, Freud et Bentham. Les conditions de vie de Mahfouz l'ont amené à réfléchir à des réformes sociales dans son roman Ziqaq Al-Midaq, afin de plaider pour l'ascension sociale de la classe inférieure vers les classes voisines, en s'appuyant sur l'élimination de l'oppression exercée par la classe supérieure.

Charles Dickens and the Form of the Novel
First published in 1987. While there have been commentaries on his humour, his seriousness, his social concerns, and other specific aspects of his work such accounts have only tended to divide our understanding of the novels, to lead us to see them as failures of artistic unity. In this book the author seeks to address this question of unity and find a terminology that can treat language, plot and representation of reality as a coherent imaginative effort. This thesis is worked out in detail with reference to several of the novels, and represents a challenging re-evaluation Dickens' achievement as a novelist. This book will be if interest to student of literature.

L'utilitarismo in *Ziqaq Al-Midaq* di Mahfouz e in *Hard Times* di Dickens
Questo libro mira a dimostrare l'impatto del lato negativo dell'utilitarismo sui principi morali della società, come riflesso in "Hard Times" di Dickens e in "Ziqaq Al-Midaq" di Mahfouz. Il libro si concentra inoltre sull'individuazione delle somiglianze e delle differenze tra il punto di vista di Dickens sull'utilitarismo e quello di Mahfouz, in particolare su come questo concetto si rifletta nelle società occidentali e orientali. Essi mostrano la lotta delle persone per contrastare le conseguenze lasciate dall'utilitarismo, insieme ai suoi effetti negativi sulla struttura sociale e sul morale nel suo complesso. Il XVIII e il XIX secolo hanno portato avanti l'anima del cambiamento in tutto il mondo grazie alle scoperte geografiche occidentali. L'Occidente ha iniziato ad applicare le proprie teorie all'Oriente, come si può vedere negli scritti di Naguib Mahfouz e di altri romanzieri orientali. Inoltre, Mahfouz ha basato la sua filosofia sulle idee di studiosi occidentali, quali Charles Darwin, Mill, Freud e Bentham. Le condizioni di vita di Mahfouz lo hanno portato a riflettere sulle riforme sociali nel suo Ziqaq Al-Midaq per sostenere il miglioramento della classe inferiore affinché potesse avvicinarsi alle altre classi, puntando sull'eliminazione dell'oppressione da parte della classe alta.
