The story of Egypt’s queens through 3,000 years of Egyptian history The Queens of Ancient Egypt Rosanna Pirelli Introduction by Dorothea Arnold Foreword by H.E. Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak
reat royal wife. God’s wife. Daughter of God. The ancient Egyptian language had Gno specific and separate word for ‘queen’ as we know it, yet for three thousand years, queens had occasion to share responsibility with Egypt’s pharaohs for ruling one of the most powerful countries of the ancient world. But were Egyptian queens ever the equal of their male counterparts? Could the authority of a woman measure up to the power of a male ruler in pharaonic times? Drawing upon written sources and the latest archaeological research, as well as myths, artwork, and religious texts, The Queens of Ancient Egypt attempts to answer these questions and more by examining the variety of roles of an Egyptian queen through time: queen consort, mother of kings, priestess, co-ruler with a pharaoh, or even sovereign in her own right. From Hatshepsut to Cleopatra, via Nefertiti and Nefertari, all the best known and lesser known queens of ancient Egypt are here. Over 250 color photographs of statues, paintings, and reliefs sup- plement the text.

2 ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT EGYPT
Egypt’s ancient sites between the Nile Valley and the Red Sea The Red Land The Illustrated Archaeology of Egypt’s Eastern Desert Steven E. Sidebotham, Martin Hense, and Hendrikje M. Nouwens
or thousands of years Egypt has crowded the Nile Valley and Delta. The Eastern FDesert, however, has also played a cru- cial—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 field- work 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 photo- graphs 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.

3 ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT EGYPT
The pageant of ancient Egyptian culture in full color Pharaonic Civilization History and Treasures of Ancient Egypt Giorgio Ferrero
haraonic Civilization sheds light on the prin- cipal events, cultural and social processes, Pand religious beliefs that influenced and shaped the development and flowering of a civili- zation on the Nile that lasted for thousands of years. Almost from the time the Egyptian state came into being with the unification of the ‘Two King- doms,’ the pharaohs immortalized their lives and achievements with the construction of stone mon- uments. This book looks at these wonders, includ- ing the pyramid tombs of the Old Kingdom, whose architectural evolution can be followed from the first step pyramid of Djoser to the magnificent pyramids of Giza, and on to the necropolises of Abusir and Saqqara. Monumental sculpture and private burial are also examined here, two areas that found new expres- sive forms during the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. And ample space is reserved for the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, who with their military campaigns made Egypt one of the most powerful empires of the Near East. Thanks to superb color photographs, the reader is able to admire the prodigious output of Egyptian art in all its splendor. The book also examines the last centuries of the age of the pharaohs, up to the period of Greek and then Roman control of Egypt, an era when Egyp- tian culture came into contact and in some cases fused with the Hellenistic and Roman cultures of February the time. 208pp. Hardbound 28.5x31.5cm / 11x12.5in GIORGIO FERRERO was born in Milan in 1978.

From the anthars of The Mummy in Ancient Egypt The Tomb in Ancient Egypt Royal and Private Sepulchers from the Early Dynastic Period to the Romans Aidan Dodson and Salima Ikram
rom the pyramids along the Nile and the royal burial ground in the Valley of the FKings to the tombs of queens such as Ramesses II’s consort Nefertari and the large num- ber of private tombs of nobles like Rekhmire and Ramose, The Tomb in Ancient Egypt is an unparal- leled guide to ancient Egyptian burial sites and practices. Besides the paintings, reliefs, and statues adorn- ing their walls, many tombs show the breathtaking skill of ancient architects, and autobiographical texts found within give rare insights into Egyptian life. We read of Harkhuf’s African explorations, returning with the gift of a dancing dwarf to his boy-king, Pepy II, and we learn how General Amenemheb saved his king’s life when charged by an enraged elephant. Written by two experts in the field, this new book traces burial practices in Egypt over three millennia, from the dawn of Egyptian history to the Roman domination. It also illuminates the work of key scholars who excavated and catalogued their finds for posterity, and it includes a compre- hensive list of the principal cemeteries, with glos- sary and maps for ease of reference. Richly illus- trated with photographs of the monuments and their art, plus numerous diagrams and reconstruc- tion drawings, this is an essential and authoritative resource for all those passionate about ancient Egypt.

6 ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT EGYPT
Egypt’s heritage in infra-red black-and-white photography The Eternal Light of Egypt A Photographic Journey Sarite Sanders Introduced by Dorothea Arnold
or centuries visitors have been awed by ancient Egypt’s monuments, seeing in them Ftestimony to a mysterious past and the remembrance of forces greater and more subtle than the corporeal world they inhabit. With stun- ning photography complemented by quotations from a range of textual sources, The Eternal Light of Egypt speaks to that testimony with a fresh, explor- atory voice. A brooding face carved in stone, mon- uments of unsparing majesty, clouds spread out against an immutable sky, delicate patterns of palm fronds caught in a shimmering half-light. Like the figurative language of dreams, Sarite Sanders’s haunting black-and-white photographs bring the enigmatic narrative of Egypt’s ancient monuments into sharp relief, forcing us to see pyramids, stat- ues, or the breathtaking architectural sweep of temples once again for the first time, in an austere and unscripted visual poetry. Photographed using infra-red film, the images are often dark and edgy, hinting at an underlying restlessness and the tran- sience of all those who stand in the monuments’ shadow. With over 100 black-and-white photo- graphs, The Eternal Light of Egypt is both a medita- tion and a rare, lyrical work, inviting the observer to revisit and engage with Egypt’s most enduring legacy to the imagination.

8 HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
A guide to Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine Egypt Egypt from Alexander to the Copts An Archaeological and Historical Guide Edited by Roger S. Bagnall and Dominic W. Rathbone
fter its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, Egypt was ruled for the next 300 Ayears by the Ptolemaic dynasty founded by Ptolemy I, one of Alexander’s generals. With the defeat of Cleopatra VII in 30 BC, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, and later of the Byzantine Empire. For a millennium it was one of the wealthiest, most populous and important lands of the multicultural Mediterranean civilization under Greek and Roman rule. The thousand years from Alexander to the Arab conquest in AD 641 are rich in archaeological inter- est and well documented by 50,000 papyri in Greek, Egyptian, Latin, and other languages. But travelers and others interested in the remains of this period are ill-served by most guides to Egypt, which concentrate on the pharaonic buildings. This book redresses the balance, with clear and Contributors: Roger S.

9 HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
A concise narrative of Egypt’s long and colorful history A History of Egypt From Earliest Times to the Present Jason Thompson
o country’s past can match Egypt’s in antiquity, richness, and variety. Rarely, Nhowever, is this nation’s history presented as a comprehensive panorama, since scholars tend to divide it into distinct eras—pharaonic, Greco- Roman, Coptic, medieval Islamic, Ottoman, and modern—that are rarely studied in connection to each other, despite the strong elements of continu- ity running through all of these periods. But here, historian Jason Thompson has written a cohesive account of Egypt’s millennia-long past. In A History of Egypt, readers are offered a sure guide through the sometimes labyrinthine corri- dors of Egypt’s past, from the mysterious predy- nastic kingdoms to the post-modern nation-state of the twenty-first century. The author addresses central scholarly issues such as how Egyptian his- tory can be treated as a whole and how the west has shaped prevailing images of it, both through direct contact and through the lens of western scholarship. Drawing on current historical scholar- ship as well his own research, Jason Thompson has written a remarkable work of synthesis and conci- sion, offering students, travelers, and general read- ers alike an engaging one-volume narrative of the extraordinarily long course of human history by the Nile.

10 HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
The life and legacy of the physician of medieval Muslim Spain The Sage of Seville Ibn Zuhr, His Time, and His Medical Legacy Henry Azar
bn Zuhr (or Avenzoar) of twelfth-century Seville was the most important physician of IMuslim Spain. His family boasted six genera- tions of physicians, and also included midwives, jurists, poets, and viziers. His Kitab al-taysir, a com- pendium of therapeutics, was translated into Latin and Hebrew; its Latin version, Liber Teisir, served as a companion book to the Colliget, the Latin translation of Kitab al-kulliyat, a largely theoretical book of the philosopher–physician Ibn Rushd (Averroes). The rabbi–physician Maimonides quoted extensively from Ibn Zuhr and considered him “unique in his age and one of the great sages.” But Ibn Zuhr was not just a keen observer of patients and a dispenser of remedies: buried within his generally dry narrative are candid recollections and views on a variety of subjects and of his society. And his medical recipes could be compared to cur- rents forms of alternative medicine. Together, his holistic approach to medicine and his spontaneous vignettes make him one of the most refreshing physicians of any age. This account of the life and legacy of Ibn Zuhr, the first of its kind, reveals the man and his world, his importance in his own times, and his relevance to our world today. Against a modern culture of often impersonal, bureaucratized, and costly health care, Ibn Zuhr’s embodiment of the wisdom of the ages and his role as healer–priest can be an inspiration.

11 HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY
A window onto the social history of Cairo in the eighteenth century An Armenian Artist in Ottoman Egypt Yuhanna al-Armani and His Coptic Icons Magdi Guirguis Introduction by Nelly Hanna
uhanna al-Armani has long been known by historians of Coptic art as an eighteenth- Ycentury Armenian icon painter who lived and worked in Ottoman Cairo. Here for the first time is an account of his life that looks beyond his artistic production to place him firmly in the social, political, and economic milieu in which he moved and the confluence of interests that allowed him to flourish as a painter. Who was Yuhanna al-Armani? What was his net- work of relationships? How does this shed light on the contacts between Cairo’s Coptic and Armenian communities in the eighteenth century? Why was there so much demand for his work at that particu- lar time? And how did a member of Cairo’s then relatively modest Armenian community reach such heights of artistic and creative endeavor? Drawing on eighteenth-century deeds relating to al-Armani and other members of his social network recorded in the registers of the Ottoman courts, Magdi Guirguis offers a fascinating glimpse into the ways of life of urban dwellers in eighteenth-century Cairo, at a time when a civilian elite had reached a high level of prominence and wealth. Illustrated with 28 full-color reproductions of al-Armani’s icons, An Armenian Artist in Ottoman Egypt is a rich and compelling window on Cairene social history that will interest students and scholars of art his- tory, Coptic studies, or Ottoman history.

A masterful account of an early imperial misadventure Napoleon’s Egypt Invading the Middle East Juan Cole
n 1798, for the first time since the Crusades, western armies landed in the Middle East, ini- Itiating a confrontation with far-reaching implications. The French, infused with the fire of revolution and republicanism, and imbued with the idealism of the Enlightenment, set out for glory and riches. Their invasion of Egypt, a rebel- lious province of the sprawling Ottoman Empire, also aimed to weaken British communications with India. They were led by an ambitious and charis- matic young general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Shedding new light on the ensuing events, acclaimed historian Juan Cole tells this stirring story through the experiences of soldiers and observers on both sides of the conflict—giving full voice to Muslim points of view.

Three nineteenth-century Englishwomen in Egypt Women on the Nile The Writings of Harriet Martineau, Florence Nightingale, and Amelia Edwards Joan Rees
y combining extracts from their most famous works with Rees’s insightful essays, BWomen on the Nile illuminates the life and writings of three remarkable women and captures something of the romance of 19th century travel to the East. Harriet Martineau was a doughty and influential campaigner for multiple social causes; Florence Nightingale became a universally acclaimed reformer of nursing and hospital practices; Amelia Edwards, formerly a novelist and prolific profes- sional writer, returned from Egypt to found the Egypt Exploration Society and endow the first Chair of Egyptology at a British university. All three were independent minded women of strong character and exceptional gifts. They were accomplished writers each with a distinctive style, and their accounts of their Nile journeys are richly individual and full of life, thought and observation.

14 ARCHITECTURE AND THE ARTS
The art and architecture of the Fatimids in Cairo Arts of the City Victorious Islamic Art and Architecture in Fatimid North Africa and Egypt Jonathan M. Bloom
rts of the City Victorious is the first book- length study of the art and architecture of Athe Fatimids, the Shi‘ite dynasty that ruled in North Africa and Egypt from 909 to 1171. The Fatimids are most famous for founding the walled city of Cairo in 969, and their art—particularly textiles and luster ceramics, but also metalwork and carved rock-crystal, ivory, and woodwork—has been admired for nearly a millennium. Fatimid art is known for its strongly figural imagery, and its elegant and inventive use of Arabic calligraphy, particularly the angular Kufic script. Highlighting surviving examples of Fatimid art and architecture, this volume also draws on an unusual wealth of medieval sources that provide written evidence for the rich visual culture shared among the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish inhabitants of the Fatimid realm. Whereas earlier studies treated the two and a half centuries of Fatimid art and architecture as a single category, this book is the first to show how they grew and evolved over time. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book focuses on key works of art, copiously illus- trated with photographs, many in color. With this volume, art historian Jonathan Bloom synthesizes the findings of many scholars in many languages, to offer a rich portrait of a vibrant artistic period in Islamic civilization.

Growth and fiscal sustainability in Egypt’s economic sector The Egyptian Economy Current Challenges and Future Prospects Edited by Hanaa Kheir-El-Din
he Egyptian economy has undergone sev- eral reforms since the early 1990s. How- Tever, it was not until recently that the reform process picked up speed and intensity. Key initiatives included shifting to a flexible exchange rate regime, liberalizing trade, revising and reduc- ing the tariff structure, and improving the income tax system. Plans are underway to restructure the financial sector and privatize most state-owned enterprises. This volume aims to evaluate the impact of recent reform policies and highlight priority areas for further reform at the macroeconomic and institutional levels. Topics addressed include growth, distribution, and poverty reduction; mon- etary policy and the impact of exchange rate liber- alization; unemployment and job creation; and the new pension system. The volume focuses on the health and energy sectors in Egypt, with the aim of assessing each sector in three areas: financing, organization, and policy management, in order to suggest ideas for reform in light of international experience.

A clear study of population trends in Egypt The Demographic Revolution in Modern Egypt Warren C. Robinson and Fatma H. El-Zanaty
he Demographic Revolution in Modern Egypt describes the dramatic transition of TEgypt’s fertility and mortality rates over the last two decades, from staggeringly high to sur- prisingly low. Warren C. Robinson and Fatma H. El-Zanaty delve into the reasons for the decline in fertility, including the relative success of Egypt’s recent public initiatives in family planning. The authors compellingly show the importance of Egypt’s continued demographic stability for Egypt, the Middle East, and indeed the world. They also point to Egypt’s optimistic progress as a model for other countries where out-of-control birthrates are wreaking havoc with economic and social development.

Tourism in Egypt from the Arab and western perspectives Pyramids and Night Clubs A Travel Ethnography of Arab and Western Imaginations of Egypt, from King Tut and a Colony of Atlantis to Rumors of Sex Orgies, Urban Legends about a Marauding Prince, and Blonde Belly Dancers L. L. Wynn
iving in Egypt at the turn of the millen- nium, cultural anthropologist L. L. Wynn Lwas struck by the juxtapositions of west- ern, Gulf Arab, and Egyptian viewpoints she encountered. For some, Egypt is the land of mum- mies and pharaohs. For others, it is a vortex of decadence, where nightlife promises a chance to salivate over belly dancers and maybe even glimpse a movie star. Offering a new approach to ethnography, Pyramids and Nightclubs examines cross-cultural encounters to bring to light the counterintuitive ways in which Egypt is defined. Guiding readers on an armchair journey that introduces us to Russian and Australian belly dancers on Nile cruise ships, Egyptian rumors about an Arab prince and his royal entourage, Saudi girls looking for a less restrictive dating scene, and other visitors to this “antique” land, Wynn uses the lens of travel and tourism to depict a fascinating and often surprising version of Egypt, while exploring the concept of stereotype itself. Tracing the history of Western and Arab fas- cination with Egypt through spurious hunts for lost civilizations and the new economic disparities brought about by the oil industry, Pyramids and Nightclubs ultimately describes the ways in which moments of cultural contact, driven by tourism and labor migration, become eye-opening oppor- tunities for defining self and other.

The Popes of Egypt: A History of the Coptic Church and Its Patriarchs Volume 2, edited by Stephen J. Davis and Gawdat Gabra The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt Mark N. Swanson
n Volume 1 of this series, Stephen Davis con- tended that the themes of “apostolicity, mar- Ityrdom, monastic patronage, and theological resistance” were determinative for the cultural construction of Egyptian church leadership in late antiquity. Volume 2, The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt, shows that the medieval Coptic popes (641– 1517 CE) were regularly portrayed as standing in continuity with their saintly predecessors; how- ever, at the same time they were active in creating something new, the Coptic Orthodox Church, a community that struggled to preserve a distinctive life and witness within the new Islamic world order. The medieval popes are depicted as ‘living martyrs’ in the Church of the Martyrs, as conduc- tors of an orchestra of holiness, as community rep- resentatives hard-pressed by financial obligations and engaged in complex relationships with both Muslim officials and Coptic lay notables, as patrons of a resilient sacred geography that rooted Coptic culture in a network of holy places, and as leaders in both acculturation and resistance to a largely Islamic society. Building on recent advances in the study of sources for Coptic church history, the present volume aims to show how portrayals of the medieval popes provide a window into the reli- gious and social life of their community.

The Popes of Egypt: A History of the Coptic Church and Its Patriarchs Volume 3, edited by Stephen J. Davis and Gawdat Gabra The Emergence of the Modern Coptic Papacy Magdi Guirguis and Nelly van Doorn-Harder Michael Shelley, associate editor his third and final volume of The Popes of Egypt spans the five centuries from the Tarrival of the Ottomans in 1517 to the pres- ent era. Hardly any scholarly work has been writ- ten about the Copts during the Ottoman Period. 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 this time. He reveals that the popes held complete authority over their flock at the beginning of Ottoman rule, deciding over questions ranging from marriage and concu- bines to civil disputes. As the fortunes of Coptic notables rose, they gradually took over the pope’s role and it was not until the time of Muhammad Ali that the popes regained their former authority. With the dawning of the modern era in the nine- teenth century, the leadership style of the Coptic popes necessarily changed drastically. As Egypt’s social, political, and religious landscape underwent dramatic changes, 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 polit- ical, religious, and cultural issues faced by the patriarchs that led the Coptic community into the twenty-first century.

A major early novel by the Egyptian Nobel laureate Cairo Modern Naguib Mahfouz Translated by William M. Hutchins
ahgub Abd al-Da’im is a scamp who fan- cies himself a nihilist, a hedonist, an ego- Mtist, but his personal vulnerability is soon revealed by a family crisis back home in al-Qanatir, a dusty, provincial town on the Nile. Mahgub has a hard time finding the correct setting on his ambi- tion gauge. His emotional life also fluctuates between the extremes of a street girl, who makes her living gathering cigarette butts, and his wealthy cousin Tahiya. Since he thinks that virtue is merely a social construct, how far will our would-be nihil- ist go in trying to fulfill his unbridled ambitions? What if he discovers that high society is more cor- rupt and cynical than he is? Published in Arabic in the 1940s, this cautionary morality tale about self-defeating egoism and ill- digested foreign philosophies comes from the same period as one of the writer’s best known works, Midaq Alley. Both novels are comic and heart-felt indictments not so much of Egyptian society between the world wars as of human nature and our paltry attempts to establish just societies.
NAGUIB MAHFOUZ (1911–2006) was born in the crowded Cairo district of Gamaliya. He graduated in philosophy from King Fuad University in 1934, and went on to write nearly forty novel-length works, plus hundreds of short stories and numer- ous screenplays.

From the author of The Man from Bashmour The Golden Chariot Salwa Bakr Translated Dinah Manisty
rom her cell in a women’s prison, Aziza decides to create a golden chariot to take Fher to heaven, where her wishes and dreams can be fulfilled. As she muses on who to take with her, she tells the life stories of her fellow prisoners and decides in her heart which ones deserve a free ride to paradise. Aziza’s cruelly frank comments about her friends and their various crimes—including murder, theft, and drug-deal- ing—weave these tales together into a contempo- rary Arabian Nights. Salwa Bakr takes a wry and cynical look at how women from widely differing backgrounds, some innocent and some guilty, come together in a single prison ward. Salwa Bakr’s writing depicts life at the grass- roots of Egypt’s culture, admiring its resilience in the face of poverty and inequality. With a strong mistrust of imported kitsch, western consumerism is contrasted with the indigenous culture. In The Golden Chariot, Salwa Bakr opens a magical door, through which we are able to see the injustices of a society in transition. Beyond these stories of crime, we glimpse the yearning and longing for a better life, and the problems of not being able to realize these dreams by honest means.

New paperback edition Final Night Short Stories Buthaina Al Nasiri Selected and translated by Denys Johnson-Davies
ove and death and the passage between entry into the world and exit from it are Lthe focus of this collection of short stories. Buthaina Al Nasiri is an Iraqi author who has lived in Cairo since 1979. Despite this physical and tem- poral distance from her homeland, much of her material derives from it and many of the stories in this collection reflect her deeply felt nostalgia for Iraq. In contrast to many contemporary female writers, she confesses to being less interested in the position of women in society than in that of people in general and the sufferings they experi- ence between birth and the end of life. None the less, some of her best stories depict the many-col- ored relationships that exist between the sexes. Buthaina Al Nasiri’s work has been widely trans- lated into European languages, but this is the first volume of her stories to appear in English, for which renowned translator Denys Johnson-Davies has selected work from a career of short-story writing spanning some thirty years.
BUTHAINA AL NASIRI, born in Iraq in 1947, gradu- ated from the College of Arts of the University of Baghdad and has lived in Cairo since 1979, where she runs a publishing house that specializes in the works of Iraqi writers under UN sanctions. Five collections of her own short stories have been pub- lished in Arabic.

By the author of the bestselling novel The Yacoubian Building Friendly Fire Ten Tales of Today’s Cairo Alaa Al Aswany Translated by Humphrey Davies
ine short stories and a novel make up this latest offering by Alaa Al Aswany, author Nof The Yacoubian Building. As in that novel, Al Aswany dissects modern Egyptian society and reveals with skill and detachment the hypocrisy, violence, and abuse of power characteristic of a world in moral crisis. Here, though, the focus has shifted from the broad historical canvas to the minute stitches of pain that hold together an indi- vidual, a family, a school classroom, or the relation- ship 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? Alongside these wry questions, other, less mordant perspectives also have their place: an aging cabaret dancer bestows the blessing of a vanished world on her lover’s son; a crippled boy wins subjective victory from objective disaster. In Friendly Fire, readers will find again the vivid, pas- sionate characters of today’s Cairo, clamoring to be heard.
ALAA AL ASWANY was born in 1957. A dentist by profession, Al Aswany is the author of the bestsell- ing novel The Yacoubian Building (AUC Press, 2005) and, most recently, Chicago (AUC Press, 2007).

A selection of the most important works of Egypt’s great playwright The Essential Tawfiq al-Hakim Edited by Denys Johnson-Davies
he importance of Tawfiq al-Hakim (1898– 1989) to the emergence of a modern Arabic Tliterature is second only to that of Naguib Mahfouz. If the latter put the novel among the genres of writing that are now an accepted part of literary production in the Arab world today, Tawfiq al-Hakim is recognized as the undisputed creator of a literature of the theater. Of the more than seventy plays he wrote, The Sultan’s Dilemma, dealing with a historical subject in an appealingly light-hearted manner, is perhaps the best known. The other full-length play included here, The Tree Climber, is one that reveals al-Hakim’s openness to outside influences—in this case, the absurdist mode of writing. Of the two one-act plays in this collection, The Donkey Market shows his deftness at turning a traditional folk tale into a hilarious stage comedy. Contents: The Sultan’s Dilemma Included in this volume is an extract from (full-length play), The Tree Climber al-Hakim’s best known novel, the delightful Diary (full-length play), The Donkey of a Country Prosecutor, in which he draws on his Market (one-act play), The Song of own experience as a public prosecutor in the Egyp- Death (one-act play), Diary of a tian countryside.

A Libyan novel of the Sahara Desert from the author of Anubis Gold Dust Ibrahim al-Koni Translated by Elliott Colla
ejected by his tribe and hunted by the kin of the man he killed, Ukhayyad and his Rthoroughbred camel flee across the deso- late Tuareg deserts of the Sahara. Between bloody wars against the Italians in the north and famine raging in the south, Ukhayyad rides for the remote rock caves of Jebel Hasawna. There, he says fare- well to the mount who has been his companion through thirst, disease, lust, and loneliness. Alone in the desert, haunted by the prophetic cave paint- ings of ancient hunting scenes and the cries of jinn in the night, Ukhayyad awaits the arrival of his pursuers and their insatiable hunger for blood and gold. Gold Dust is a classic story of the brother- hood between man and beast, the thread of com- panionship that is all the difference between life and death in the desert. It is a story of the fight to endure in a world of limitless and waterless wastes, and a parable of the struggle to survive in the most dangerous landscape of all: human society.

s with his earlier works, Mohamed El-Bisatie’s novel is set in the Egyptian Acountryside, about which he writes with such understanding. It deals with Zaghloul a lay- about father, Sakeena his long-suffering wife, and their two young boys. The central theme of the book is hunger: the hunger of not knowing where one’s next meal is coming from, and the universal hunger for sex and love. Sakeena’s life revolves round trying to provide her family with the neces- sary daily bread that will stave off starvation. Labor-shy Zaghloul works on and off at one of the village’s cafés, but prefers to spend his time listen- ing in on conversations about subjects such as poli- tics, which he would have liked—had he but had an education—to know more about. He is also intrigued by the stories told by young university students about their sexual exploits. Eventually chance presents him with a new job: to keep com- pany with an elderly and over-fat man and help him on and off the mule he has to use for getting about. Despite its bleak title, Hunger is told with a light- ness of touch and the writer’s trademark wry humor.

But living with a woman more than forty years his senior was too much for Othman—before his wife’s murder he sought relief in a steamy affair with an attractive young aerobics instructor, Naeema. The Moroccan police quickly zero in on Othman as the prime suspect in his wife’s murder. But is he guilty? Did he kill his wife for the money and his lover? Or is he an innocent man, framed by cir- cumstance—and an overzealous and brutal police force? Abdelilah Hamdouchi’s The Final Bet is the first Arabic detective novel to be translated into English. With it, Hamdouchi joins the ranks of Yasmina Khadra and Henning Mankell, finally bringing the modern Arabic novel to the global stage of detective fiction.

An Iraqi prison novel from the author of The Last of the Angels Cell Block Five Fadhil al-Azzawi Translated by William M. Hutchins
eing plucked from a Baghdad café and deposited in a cell block for political pris- Boners is a wakeup call for Aziz, the novel’s hero and narrator, a young man who has been liv- ing on automatic pilot—as if he were a guest visit- ing his own life—and he is finally forced to come to terms with the flawed world we inhabit and shape. Although never charged with any offense, he must adjust to a lengthy stay in prison, where he is befriended by imprisoned revolutionaries who teach him to dream that an ideal city with his name on it may lie just over the horizon, while the police supervisor encourages him to think of a sim- ple crime to which he can confess so he can be charged and eventually released. Written in 1971 and published outside Iraq in 1972, Cell Block Five—the first Iraqi prison novel— was later made into a feature film in Syria. Drawing the reader subtly into the political section of an Iraqi prison, this compelling story easily tran- scends cultural boundaries.
FADHIL AL-AZZAWI was born in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 1940. He holds a Ph.D. in cultural journalism from the University of Leipzig and is the author of sev- eral novels and collections of poetry.

A lyrical novel of memory from a leading Syro-Lebanese writer The Crane Halim Barakat Translated by Bassam Frangieh and Roger Allen
n The Crane, the renowned Syro-Lebanese author and sociologist Halim Barakat creates a Inarrator who looks back wistfully on a child- hood in a small village of Syria, with the image of flying cranes—and in particular one wounded bird—as a continuing symbol of his emotions toward the past and its impact upon his life. The narrator then travels to the United States, and, with his wife, goes through the experiences of American college life in the 1960s. He describes his participation in the political protests during that fraught decade, and goes on to depict his later life in the American capital of Washington DC and its surroundings. The link between narrator and author is clearly a close one, and yet the careful way in which the narrative’s sequence is con- structed allows the reader to invoke the world of the imagination in interpreting this nostalgic account of a Middle Eastern childhood and its international aftermath.
HALIM BARAKAT is a novelist, critic, and scholar of sociology, who recently retired from a long career on the faculty of Georgetown University in Washington DC. Among his scholarly works in English are Visions of Society: Reality in the Contempo- rary Arabic Novel and The Arab World: Society, Cul- ture, and State.

A new novel from the author of No One Sleeps in Alexandria Distant Train Ibrahim Abdel Meguid A Modern Arabic Novel Translated by Hosam Aboul-Ela
hile the fading autumn sun sped toward the horizon, the young boys Wheaded home—they were not used to trying to see at night without the moon’s glow.” So begins this unconventional, hauntingly mythic novel. In the tradition of magical-realism, Ibrahim Abdel Meguid crafts a tale steeped in symbolism. Writing in a shimmering lyrical style he brings alive the dreams, customs, and everyday concerns of people living in historic obscurity on the fringe of the glitzy, petrodollar kingdoms of the Middle East. The tale begins on a worksite in Egypt’s Western Desert. Here, in the middle of nowhere, railway men and locals wait in hope for the annual return of a “distant train.” When last it came this vehicle brought with it foreigners, soldiers—and economic opportunity; then it stopped. Each of Abdel Meguid’s characters is allegorical in nature. Each “Meguid’s prose is lush, and part of the novel is framed by memory and the way possessed with Marquezesque remembrance takes shape and affects the charac- charm, and the novel’s final mes- ters. The story’s main characters are time and sage is hopeful: life must be place. Yet its dramatic thrust is the way in which seized, and cherished; salvation, place gives rise to history through the passage of whatever its form, will not come time and the rise and fall of settlement. Distant on its own.” Train reaffirms Ibrahim Abdel Meguid’s status as a —Publishers Weekly new, imaginative, and distinct voice in the field of narrative literature and the time-honored arena of storytelling.

A dark novel of village life in southern Egypt The Collar and the Bracelet Yahya Taher Abdullah Translated by Samah Selim
et in the ancient Upper Egyptian village of Karnak against the backdrop of the British Scampaigns in Sudan, the Second World War, and the war in Palestine, The Collar and the Bracelet is the stunning saga of the Bishari family— a family ripped apart by the violence of history, the dark conduits of human desire, and the rigid social conventions of village life. In a series of masterful narrative circles and repetitions, the novella traces the grim intrigues of Hazina al-Bishari and the inexorable destinies of her son, the exile and noto- rious bandit Mustafa, her daughter Fahima, tor- tured by guilt and secret passion, and the tragic doom of her beautiful granddaughter Nabawiya. Yahya Taher Abdullah’s haunting prose distills the rhythmic lyricism of the folk story and weaves it into a uniquely modernist narrative tapestry of love and revenge that beautifully captures the timeless pharaonic landscapes of Upper Egypt and the blind struggles of its inhabitants against pov- erty, exploitation, and time—themes that are echoed and amplified in the short stories included in this volume, which span the breadth of Abdullah’s tragically short career as one of Egypt’s most bril- liant writers of modern fiction.

athed to the north by the waters of the Mediterranean, and flanked on either side Bby the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Eilat, the Sinai peninsula narrows down to its southern tip, where a breathtaking sweep of jagged rock marks its meeting point with the Red Sea. The Sinai’s interior boasts a thriving flora and fauna, lush oases, major archaeological and religious sites, and the stark drama of desert and mountain land- scape. The coast is no less spectacular for its golden sands and crystalline waters and for the scenery and variety of sea life to be found under- water, in the coral reefs that encircle the peninsu- la’s southern end. But where can a visitor begin to explore the Sinai and how? Stunningly illustrated with over 350 full- color maps and photographs, the Guide to the Explo- ration of the Sinai covers a wide range of detailed itineraries for every kind of journey.

A new look at the history of Cairo and its use of space Cairo’s Street Stories Exploring the City’s Statues, Squares, Bridges, Gardens, and Sidewalk Cafés Lesley Lababidi
n 1872, Ismail Pasha, the khedive of Egypt, was the first to adopt the European custom of Ipositioning heroic statues on public display as a symbolic message of the continuing authority of the ruling Muhammad Ali dynasty to which he belonged, but it was not until the early twentieth century and the determination of sculptor Mahmoud Mukhtar that such public art gained general acceptance, and today statues stand, ride, or sit in the streets, squares, and gardens of Cairo. Each sculpture adds a piece to the jigsaw of history spanning personalities and events that shaped the city and wider Egypt from 1805 to 1970, and here Cairo-based author Lesley Lababidi provides a unique perspective on Egyptian history through looking at more than fifty statues and monumental sculptures and the stories behind them. Between statues, she explores Cairo’s growth and its multidimensional identity, and examines the relationship of Cairo’s modern denizens with the landscapes, districts, palaces, archaeological sites, cafés, bridges, and gardens of their great and maddening city, the Mother of the World. Illustrated throughout with color and black-and- white photographs by the author, Cairo’s Street Sto- ries presents a unique and lively view of the history that fashioned the city’s streets and open spaces, and of the many and often unexpected uses to which its inventive inhabitants put them.
