“Elegant yet pointedly sharp-tongued and Friendly Fire sarcastic.” — Library Journal Tales of Today’s Egypt Alaa Al Aswany Translated by Humphrey Davies New paperback edition

A novel and sixteen short stories make up this collection by Egypt’s bestselling novelist as he reveals with skill and detachment the minute stitches of pain that hold together an individual, a family, a school classroom, or the relationship between a man and a woman. Can a man so alienated from his society that he regards all its members as no better than microbes wriggling under a microscope survive within it? Can cynical religiosity triumph over human decency? Can a man put the thought of a delicious dish of beans behind him long enough to mourn his father’s death?

Ancient Nubia African Kingdoms on the Nile Edited by Marjorie M. Fisher, Peter Lacovara, Salima Ikram, and Sue D’Auria Photographs by Chester Higgins Jr A lushly illustrated gazetteer of the archaeological sites of southern Egypt and northern Sudan

For most of the modern world, ancient Nubia seems an unknown and enigmatic land. Only a handful of archaeologists have studied its history or unearthed the Nubian cities, temples, and cemeteries that once dotted the landscape of southern Egypt and northern Sudan. Nubia’s remote setting in the midst of an inhospitable desert, with access by river blocked by impassable rapids, has lent it not only an air of mys- tery, but also isolated it from exploration. Over the past century, particularly during this last generation, scholars have begun to focus more attention on the fascinating cultures of ancient Nubia, ironically prompted by the construction of large dams that have flooded vast tracts of the ancient land. This book attempts to document some of what has recently been discovered about ancient Nubia, with its remarkable history, architecture, and culture, and thereby to give us a picture of this rich, but unfamiliar, African legacy.

Marjorie M. Fisher is adjunct professor of Egyptology at the University of Michigan. Peter Lacovara is senior curator of ancient Egyptian, Nubian, and Near Eastern art at the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University. Salima Ikram is professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo. Sue D’Auria is a former assistant curator at the Huntington Museum of Art.

Grand Hotels of Egypt in the Golden Age of Travel Andrew Humphreys A colorfully illustrated celebration of Egypt’s classic era of touring

From the earliest resthouses serving travelers on the Overland Route between Britain and Bombay to the grand Edwardian palaces on the Nile that made Egypt the exotic alternative to wintering on the Riviera, the hotels of Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan were always about far more than just bed and board. As bridgeheads for African exploration, neu- tral territories for conducting diplomacy, headquar- ters for armies, providers of home comforts for writers, painters, scholars, and archaeologists in the field, and social hubs for an international elite, more of importance happened in Egypt’s hotels than in any other setting. It was through the hotels that visi- tors from the west—the earliest adventurers, then the travelers and, finally, the tourists—experienced the Orient. This book tells the stories of Egypt’s historic hotels (including the Cecil, Shepheard’s, the Mena House, Gezira Palace, Semiramis, Winter Palace, and Cataract) and some of the people who stayed in them, from Amelia Edwards, Lucie Duff Gordon, and Florence Nightingale to Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Winston Churchill, and TE Lawrence.

Andrew Humphreys is the author of National Geographic Traveler Egypt (AUC Press, 2009).

Using court, financial, and building records, as well as archives from the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate and monasteries, Magdi Guirguis has reconstructed the authority of the popes and the organization of the Coptic community during the Ottoman period. He reveals that the popes held complete authority over their flock at the time, deciding over questions ranging from marriage and concubines to civil dis- The Coptic Papacy in Islamic putes.

Mark N. Swanson With the dawning of the modern era in the nineteenth century, the leadership style of the Coptic popes necessarily changed drastically, as the Coptic Church experienced a virtual renaissance, and expanded from a local to a global institution. In the second part of the book, Nelly van Doorn- Harder addresses the political, religious, and cultural issues faced by the patriarchs that led the Coptic community into the twenty-first century.

I quite agree with Miss Martineau that one of the greatest nuisances in travelling is keeping a journal. One is far more disposed to lie down and rest after a fatiguing ride of eight or nine hours on a camel, beneath a burning sun; than—having made a hasty toilette—to take out one’s writing materials. I persevered, however, and rejoice that I did so. —Lady Tobin, 1853 Women Travelers in Egypt From the Eighteenth to the Twenty-first Century Deborah Manley Around Egypt through the centuries with interpid women travelers

Until late in the nineteenth century, few guidebooks acknowledged the presence of women as travelers — although women had been traveling around the world for centuries. Women’s accounts of their jour- neys, distinct from those of male travelers, began to appear more frequently in the early nineteenth century, and Egypt was a popular destination. Women had more time to watch and describe; they were more dependent on the Egyptian staff; they spent time both in the harems of Cairo and with the women they met along the Nile. Some of them, like Sarah Belzoni, Sophia Poole, and Ellen Chennells, spoke Arabic. Others wrote engagingly of their expe- Also available: riences as observers of an exotic culture, with special Traveling through Egypt access to some places no man could ever go.
