Just published Exposing the causes of Egypt’s 2011 Revolution

“Only a few Egyptian writers of world stature remain, and Alaa Al Aswany has emerged as one of the most successful.” —Los Angeles Times

“Alaa Al Aswany is a world writer, making Egyptian concerns into human ones and beautifully illuminating our always extraordinary and sometimes sad and baffling world.” —The Times

On the State of Egypt “Alaa Al Aswany is a courageous, outspoken social critic.” —Times Literary Supplement A Novelist’s Provocative Reflections Alaa Al Aswany “Among the best writers in the Middle East today.” —The Guardian Translated by Jonathan Wright The bestselling author of The Yacoubian Building “An insightful student of the human condition.” and Chicago proclaims that "Democracy is the —Library Journal solution"

In the novels and short stories of Alaa Al Aswany, characters struggle with class differences, police bru- tality, poverty, sexual harassment, and political corruption; now, in a new collection of the weekly news- paper columns previously published in Arabic, Al Aswany considers these same issues that torment modern Egyptian society. He has a great deal to say about one of the most pressing questions on every- one’s mind: who will be the next president of Egypt, and how will he be elected? He discusses the moral ambiguity of appointed politicians, the suitability of democratic reforms in a Muslim society, and the Also by Alaa Al Aswany: inherent contradiction in the actions of the religiously observant policeman who tortures or the man who The Yacoubian Building harasses women. Critical, controversial, and straight- Chicago forward, Al Aswany asks his government to serve the people, and the people to demand what they deserve. Friendly Fire

Alaa Al Aswany was born in 1957. A dentist by profession, Al Aswany is the author of the bestselling novel The Yacoubian Building (AUC Press, 2005), Chicago (AUC Press, 2007), and the novella and short story collection Friendly Fire (AUC Press 2009). Jonathan Wright is the translator of Taxi by Khaled Al Khamissi.

“A feeling of euphoria spread throughout the country on hearing the news that the president had stepped down. Egyptians spent the night dancing and singing in the streets, celebrating the end of a regime that, even if a few found it useful for their own purposes, very few really liked and Egypt in the Era of Hosni Mubarak, 1981–2011 hardly anybody respected.” Galal Amin —from the Introduction A new, provocative book from the author of Whatever Happened to the Egyptians?

Galal Amin once again turns his attention to the shaping of Egyptian society and the Egyptian state in the half-century and more that has elapsed since the Nasserite revolution, this time focusing on the era of President Mubarak. Also by Galal Amin: He looks at corruption, poverty, the plight of the Whatever Happened to the Egyptians? middle class, and of course, the economy, and directs his penetrating gaze toward the Mubarak Whatever Else Happened to the Egyptians? regime’s uneasy relationship with the relatively free The Illusion of Progress in the Arab World 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, Gala l Amin por- trays 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.

Galal Amin is professor of economics at the American University in Cairo. He is the author of Whatever Happened to the Egyptians? (AUC Press, 2000), Whatever Else Happened to the Egyptians? (AUC Press, 2004), and The Illusion of Progress in the Arab World (AUC Press, 2006).

The History and Religious Heritage of Old Cairo Its Fortress, Churches, Synagogue, and Mosque Edited by Carolyn Ludwig and Morris Jackson Photographs by Sherif Sonbol A celebration of the history of religious life in the early Egyptian capital, in text and pictures

Just to the south of modern Cairo stands the historic enclave known as Old Cairo, which grew up in and around the Roman fortress of Babylon, and which today hosts a unique collection of monuments that attest to the shared cultural heritage of ancient Egyptians, Christians, Jews, and Muslims. In this lavishly illustrated celebration of a very special place, renowned photographer Sherif Sonbol’s remarkable images of the fortress, churches, synagogue, and mosque illuminate the living fabric of the ancient and medieval stones, while the text describes the history of Old Cairo from the time of the ancient Egyptians and the Romans to the founding of the first Muslim city of al-Fustat, focusing on the Jewish history of the area (exploring the famous Genizah documentss found in the Ben Ezra Synagogue that tell so much about everyday life in medieval Egypt), the early Coptic Christian churches, some of the oldest in the world, and the arrival of the Mus lims in the seventh century, their estab- lishment of al-Fustat on the edge of Old Cairo, and the building of the oldest mosque in Africa.

Love in the Rain Naguib Mahfouz A Modern Arabic Novel Translated by Nancy Roberts A vibrant novel of love, bitterness, and betrayal Also by Naguib Mahfouz: The Mirage Set in Cairo in the aftermath of the Six-Day War of 1967, Love in the Rain introduces us to an assortment Before the Throne of characters who, each in his or her own way, expe- The Coffeehouse rience the effects of this calamitous event. The war In the Time of Love and its casualties, as well as people’s foibles and the tragedies they create for themselves, raise existential The Final Hour questions that cannot easily be answered. In a frank, sensitive treatment of everything from patriotism to prostitution, homosexuality and lesbian- ism, Love in the Rain presents a struggle between “old” and “new” in the realm of moral values that leaves the future in doubt. Through the dilemmas and heartbreaks faced by his protagonists, Mahfouz expos- es the hypocrisy of those who condemn any breach of sexual morality while turning a blind eye to violence, corruption, and oppression.

Naguib Mahfouz (1911–2006) was born in the crowded Cairo district of Gamaliya. He wrote nearly 40 novel- length works, plus hundreds of short stories and numerous screenplays. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1988. Nancy Roberts is the translator of Naguib Mahfouz’s The Mirage (AUC Press, 2009) and Salwa Bakr’s The Man from Bashmour (AUC Press, 2007), for which she received a commendation in the Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Translation.
