ومنطقة وسط القاهرة، التي عرفت في العصور الحديثة باسم الأزبكية، كانت مستنقعًا يسمى بِركة بطن البقرة، ربما لأن شكلها كان قريب الشبه ببطن البقرة، وذلك قبل أن يأتي الأمير أزبك الخازندار فيحولها إلى بِركة مبنية بنظام هندسي تحمل اسمه الأزبكية، وتصبح مزارًا سياحيًّا بديعًا، تحوطها القصور والأرصفة والكرانيش والحدائق الغنَّاء. * * * هذه الجغرواية تجربة أدبية غير مسبوقة لكاتبنا الكبير خيري شلبي، مزيج بارع من الجغرافيا والرواية، إنها رواية للجغرافيا، رواية مكان بعينه، عني فيها بحقائق المكان وجمالياته من الناحية التاريخية والاجتماعية معًا، فكان كمن يكتب في علم الخطط، فيحكي لنا عن شخصيات وأحداث وأزمنة تزدهر أحيانًا وتنطفي أحيانًا أخرى.
The downtown area of Cairo, which was known in modern times as Azbakiya, was a swamp called the Cow's Belly Pond, perhaps because its shape was close to the cow's belly, before Prince Azbakiya Al-Khazindar came and turned it into a pond built with a geometric system bearing his name: Azbakiya, and it became a wonderful tourist attraction, surrounded by palaces, sidewalks, corniches, and lush gardens. * * * This is an unprecedented literary experience by our great writer Khairy Chalabi, a masterful combination of geography and novel, it is a novel of geography, a novel of a specific place, in which I was concerned with the realities of the place and its aesthetics both historically and socially, so he was like someone who writes in the science of plans, telling us about characters, events and times that flourish sometimes and extinguish at other times.
