Download or read book The Last Pharaoh written by Hugh McLeave and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His father named him Farouk, which means "On Who Knows Right from Wrong." At sixteen he was the hope of an independent Egypt, a handsome, godlike young man who, the fellahin believed, would lead them into a time of peace and plenty. Ten years transformed him into an obese faun with a mania for women, gambling, and other people's posessions. Farouk of Egypt became an object of ridicule, the subject of bad jokes, an awful example of the consequences of unlimited power and wealth, a disaster for his people. In this deeply interesting and revealing biography, written by an author who spent two years in search of the person behind the legend, Farouk's obsession with sex is shown as a desperate attempt both to remedy and to conceal his inadequacy. Deprived of childhood companions, the boy became the prey to scheming politicians and syncophantic servants. He was poorly educated, immature, and totally unprepared for the arduous task of ruling his corrupt and feudal country. The more powerless his ineptitude made him, the more autocratic he grew; the more impotent as a lover, the more frenzied his pursuit of women. His patient subjects tolerated his mistakes and excesses until, finally, his private scandals, his divorce from his popular queen, Farida, and the Palestine debacle set the stage for the long-over-due and almost comic revolution that forced him into exile. The author interviewed Farouk's courtiers, his doctors, the men who made the revolution, and the women who knew him intimately. On the Continent he traced and talked with the king's companions in exile. In England he saw such statesmen as Lord Avon and Lord Chandos, as well as ambassadors, Arabists, and the general who planned the wartime coup de palais. Drawing on the recollections of more than a hundred and fifty observers and on unpublished British and Egyptian sources, he has written an oddly touching biography of a complex man. -- from dust jacket.
Download or read book Cleopatra written by Joyce Tyldesley and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was the last ruler of the Macedonian dynasty of Ptolemies who had ruled Egypt for three centuries. Highly educated (she was the only one of the Ptolemies to read and speak ancient Egyptian as well as the court Greek) and very clever (her famous liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony were as much to do with politics as the heart), she steered her kingdom through impossibly taxing internal problems and railed against greedy Roman imperialism. Stripping away preconceptions as old as her Roman enemies, Joyce Tyldesley uses all her skills as an Egyptologist to give us this magnificent biography.

Book Synopsis Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema by : Prof. Deborah A. Starr
Download or read book Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema written by Prof. Deborah A. Starr and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. In this book, Deborah A. Starr recuperates the work of Togo Mizrahi, a pioneer of Egyptian cinema. Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi’s work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful—and queer—use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi’s films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi’s contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema.

Book Synopsis The Secret War in the Balkans by : Richard H. Kraemer
Download or read book The Secret War in the Balkans written by Richard H. Kraemer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II was the most important event of the twentieth century. Sixty three nations took part, engaging more than 100 million soldiers, sailors, and airmen. All of the major campaigns of that war have been thoroughly covered in print and film with one exception, the secret war in the Balkans. While raids by bombers and fighter attacks were routinely reported by both military and civilian news media, the nocturnal activities of the 60th Troop Carrier Group supplying the Balkan guerrillas remained "Top Secret." Beginning in March 1944, the 60th carried 7,000 tons of weapons and equipment to secret drop and landing zones in Axis-held territory in the Balkans. With this equipment, the guerrillas tied down half a million Axis troops prior to the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944. What if the 60th Troop Carrier Group or the guerrillas had not done their job? Adolf Hitler would have been able to move eight or ten divisions to western France prior to D-Day. No on can say with certainty, but this writer's judgment is that the landings may well have failed. At the very least, the war would have been much longer and much more destructive. The importance of the Balkan supply drops to Allied victory in Europe has never been adequately recognized. The Secret War in the Balkans provides this heretofore missing chapter in the story of World War II.

Book Synopsis Surrealism in Egypt by : Sam Bardaouil
Download or read book Surrealism in Egypt written by Sam Bardaouil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thick of the Second World War, the Cairo-based Surrealist collective Art et Liberte were pioneering new art forms and mounting subversive exhibitions that sent shockwaves across local artistic circles. Born with the publication of their Manifesto Long Live Degenerate Art on December 22nd, 1938, the group rejected the convergence of art and nationalism, aligning themselves with a complex, international and evolving Surrealist movement spanning cities such as Paris, London, Mexico City, New York, Beirut and Tokyo. Art and Liberty created a distinct reworking of Surrealism, which provided a generation of disillusioned Egyptian and non-Egyptian artists and writers, men and women alike, with a platform for cultural reform and anti-Fascist protest. Surrealism in Egypt is the first comprehensive analysis of Art and Liberty's artworks, literature and critical writings on Surrealism. By addressing the group's long-lost and often misconstrued legacy, and drawing on a substantial body of previously unpublished primary documents and more than 200 field interviews, the author charts Art and Liberty's significant contribution towards a new definition of Surrealism.Moving beyond the polarizing dichotomies of Saidian Orientalism, this book rewrites the history of Surrealism itself - advocating for a new definition of the movement that reflects an inclusive vision of art history.
Book Synopsis Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt by : Joyce Tyldesley
Download or read book Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt written by Joyce Tyldesley and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive book that recounts the full history of the colorful queens of Egypt. This fascinating saga spans 3,000 years of Egyptian queenship from Early Dynastic times until the suicide of Cleopatra in 30 BC. Starting with the unique role enjoyed by Egypt's women in the ancient world, the book goes on to present a biographical portrait of every queen, supplemented by a wealth of pictorial detail, datafiles, genealogical trees, timelines, and special features—from Childbirth to Wigs—highlighting different aspects of Egyptian culture. The queen of Egypt was, first and foremost, a supportive wife and mother, but in times of dynastic crisis she was expected to act as her husband's deputy. The queen might be required to marshal troops, or to rule on behalf of an infant son. She might even be called upon to rule in her own right in the absence of a suitable king. The female pharaohs Hatshepsut and Tawosret, the sun queens Tiy and Nefertiti, the seductive Nefertari and Cleopatra: many of Egypt's queens have left an indelible mark on their country's history. And what of Egypt's lesser queens, the numerous wives and daughters maintained in pampered seclusion in the harem palaces? These women are generally forgotten, their graves lost in the desert sands. But the anonymous ladies occasionally stepped from the security of the harem to influence the royal succession, and their stories too are told.
