Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An unusual blend of travel writing, fantasy, time travel, ancient Egyptian history, and murder mystery. The story is narrated by Myhat, a hat that is far more than an ordinary piece of clothing. Myhat can experience the world through the person wearing it-it can see, hear, smell, feel and taste, and it can even perceive the wearer's thoughts, memories, dreams and fears. This makes the hat an unusual narrator because it can observe events while also experiencing the inner world of the people who wear it. The story begins with Ed and Ana travelling in Egypt. According to the author's description, Myhat first travels to Egypt in 1989 on Ed's head, and the story involves three journeys to Egypt. From there, the narrative moves beyond ordinary tourism and into a much more imaginative story involving travel through space and time. One of the most interesting aspects is the transition from modern Egypt to an imagined experience of ancient Egypt. The book introduces ancient Egyptian figures and settings, including Ameny, a young Egyptian prince or royal figure. In one excerpt shared by Buffry, Ed and Ana encounter Ameny's drawings, which include not only familiar ancient-Egyptian subjects but also seemingly impossible images of planes, helicopters, astronauts, spaceships and cars. This creates one of the book's central mysteries: how could knowledge or images of the future appear in the ancient past The title reflects Myhat's growing understanding of its own nature. At first, Myhat thinks of itself as an extraordinary hat with remarkable abilities. But as it experiences different people, places and periods of history, it comes to believe that it is something much greater-a kind of divine observer that has seen the world 'through the eyes of the Divine.' The overall themesThe book explores ideas such as: Time and history - what happens when different periods of history seem to overlap Ancient Egypt and mythology - gods, pharaohs, crowns and Egyptian culture play an important role.Identity and consciousness - Myhat's ability to experience the thoughts and memories of its wearers raises questions about what it means to be conscious.The relationship between humans and the divine - the narrator gradually develops a sense of itself as more than an object.Mystery and murder - the story eventually incorporates a murder-mystery element alongside its fantasy and historical setting. In one sentence, MyHat in Egypt is essentially the story of an extraordinary, almost supernatural hat that accompanies travellers in Egypt and becomes the narrator of an imaginative journey that moves from modern tourism into ancient Egypt, time travel, mystery and questions about divinity.Alun Buffry's own ldescription of the book summarises it as taking the reader from modern-day tourism in Egypt to fantasy time travel and a murder mystery in ancient Egypt.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The story of a young man who travelled along the 'Hippy Trail' to India in 1972, narrated through 'Myhat'. With little money and no travel experience, Al meets Myhat in Greece and they travel together through places few westerners would visit today, crossing Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of the many that travelled the Trail and survived, few have told their unique and remarkable stories, this is one, told now by Myhat.'Let me introduce myself.'I am called Myhat. I was also known as Kapelomou.'I am quite an old hat. I was made decades ago. 'I had been passed many times to different heads, yet had seldom found one that I felt really comfortable on.'About forty years ago, everything changed. I found myself upon a head that I had a close affinity with and I found myself seeing, hearing, smelling much through this young man, Al - and even picking up on his emotions and thoughts.'I was lost then for several years, stored in a cupboard until, once again, I found myself on Al's head and now I can tell my tales. 'Al and I spent some nine months together on our first trip, visiting many big cities and several small villages, in eight countries, all different, all new to myself and my new head - an adventure of a lifetime. 'I sat on Al's head and witnessed all sorts of strange places and events while we travelled to India and then to the UK. 'When Al arrived back in the UK, he was quite ill, having suffered from a problem called Infectious Hepatitis and also dysentery. Al went to his parent's house in Wales and then to hospital. But after he was in that hospital, I was never on his head so often.'I didn't know what was happening. Why was Al leaving me How long was I to be here What would become of me now Would I get a new head Would I get more adventures Would I be treasured or neglected 'Then one day, Al took me out of my box and put me back on his head. 'That is how I came to find myself back on Al's head. I have been on and off Al's head for about forty years and now I can tell my tales. We have done a lot of travelling over those forty years.'.…
