Mahfouz, Najib, 1911-2006. The coffeehouse. Translated by Raymond Stock. Cairo ; New York: American University in Cairo Press, 2010, 1st printing number line starting with 1, 145pp., near fine dust-jacket, fresh attractive copy, green illustrated hardcover. Printed in Egypt. - "On a school playground in the stylish Cairo suburb of Abbasiya, five young boys become friends for life, making a nearby café, Qushtumur, their favorite gathering spot forever. One is the narrator, who, looking back in his old age on their seven decades together, makes the other four the heroes of his tale, a Proustian (and classically Mahfouzian) quest in search of lost time and the memory of a much-changed place. In a seamless stream of personal triumphs and tragedies, their lives play out against the backdrop of two world wars, the 1952 Free Officers coup, the defeat of 1967 and the redemption of 1973, the assassination of a president, and the simmering uncertainties of the transitional 1980s. But as their nation grows and their neighborhood turns from the green, villa-studded paradise of their youth to a dense urban desert of looming towers, they still find refuge in the one enduring landmark in their ever-fading world: the humble coffeehouse called Qushtumur.".

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. Coptic Saints and Pilgrimages. The Coptic Christian tradition is one that goes back almost two thousand years to the very beginning of Christianity. In his Two Thousand Years of Coptic Christianity, renowned scholar Otto Meinardus reviewed the history of the official church from its earliest days to the end of the twentieth century, with its doctrinal disputes and its long isolation from other world church. Here in this book, he examines the other side of the coin, the popular traditions and beliefs of the people. While the Coptic Orthodox church is strongly influenced by Hellenistic mode4s of thinking, many of the folk attitudes and practices by contrast have their roots in the religious heritage4 of pharaonic Egypt, and while the official faith is by its sacramental nature exclusive, the folk religion is incl;usive and touches every aspect of the personal lives of ordinary Coptic. It is this popular aspect of Coptic religious devotion that is revealed here, in iots many points of focus: biblical saints, martyrs, ascetics, equestrian warriors, 'silverless' physicians, women saints, pilgrimage, dreams, visions and apparitions.

He looks at corruption, poverty, the plight of the middle class, and of course, the economy, and directs his penetrating gaze toward the Mubarak regime's uneasy relationship with the relatively free press it encouraged, the vexing issue of presidential succession, and Egypt's relations with the Arab world and the United States. Addressing such themes from the perspective of an active participant in Egyptian intellectual life throughout the era, Galal Amin portrays the Mubarak regime's stance in the domestic and international arenas as very much a product of history, which, while not exonerating the regime, certainly helps to explain it. / Contents Introduction 1 The Soft State 2 Corruption 3 The Economy 4 The Poor 5 The Pashas 6 The Middle Class 7 The Intellectuals 8 The Press 9 Religious Discourse 10 Alienation 11 Mubarak's Successor 12 Egypt and the Arabs 13 Egypt and the United States.

"For thousands of years Egypt has crowded the Nile Valley and Delta. The Eastern Desert, however, has also played a crucial - though until now little understood - role in Egyptian history. Ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley feared the desert, which they referred to as the Red Land, and were reluctant to venture there, yet they exploited the extensive mineral wealth of this region. They also profited from the valuable wares conveyed across the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea ports, which originated from Arabia, Africa, India, and elsewhere in the east. Based on twenty years of archaeological fieldwork conducted in the Eastern Desert, The Red Land reveals the cultural and historical richness of this little known and seldom visited area of Egypt. A range of important archaeological sites dating from Prehistoric to Byzantine times is explored here in text and illustrations. Among these ancient treasures are petroglyphs, cemeteries, fortified wells, gold and emerald mines, hard stone quarries, roads, forts, ports, and temples. With 250 photographs and fascinating artistic reconstructions based on the evidence on the ground, along with the latest research and accounts from ancient sources and modern travelers, the authors lead the reader into the remotest corners of the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Desert to discover the full story of the area's human history." Book and unclipped dust jacket in excellent condition with no inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: Heavyish book so a little extra may be needed for shipping to non-UK customers.
