IMAGES OF EGYPT
ISBN: 0 7537 1150 8, PUBLISHER BOUNTY BOOKS
Should we think of Egypt as an African country, or an Arab country? In Pharaonic images, or the images of Islam? As a Mediterranean, an Asian or an African power? The currents cross in Egypt. It possesses sites sacred to Muslims, Christians, Jews and Pagans, and if there is one plain symbolic frontierbetween the east and the west it is the Suez Canal, cut through the Egyptian desert by European engineers. Napolean called Egypt 'the most important country'; certainly it has a unique power to epitomize history and geography, and even to transcend time.
