�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

On a fateful evening in 1978, Chivvis Moore, living as a carpenter in California, stops by the house of an architect friend. "What if I wrote to Hassan Fathy?" Chivvis suggests, eager to meet the Egyptian author of the influential Architecture for the Poor. Less than three months later, Chivvis arrives in Cairo knowing virtually nothing about the culture and religion of the predominantly Muslim Middle East. What begins as a trip to meet Hassan Fathy becomes a 16-year odyssey that stretches from a year working in the shop of a master carpenter in Egypt to fraught years teaching English in Palestine.Offering a portrait of a land and a people not found in newspaper headlines or on television screens, "First Tie Your Camel, Then Trust in God" humanizes the misunderstandings, misconceptions, and tragedies that arise when we fail to appreciate the humanity at the core of us all.
