Book Synopsis Through Egypt in War-time by : Martin Shaw Briggs
Download or read book Through Egypt in War-time written by Martin Shaw Briggs and published by London : T.F. Unwin. This book was released on 1918 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the good old days before the war, Egypt was the happy hunting ground of millionaires. Now we of the E.E.F. have entered their preserve in our hundreds of thousands, obtaining admission by the simple expedient of donning a khaki uniform. We too have danced to Shepheards band, and have sentimentalised over the Sphinx by moonlight. The wealthy tourists stayed in Cairo, in Luxor, and in Assouan, doing their sight-seeing from the deck of a comfortable steamer on the Nile. Manyy of us have lived in Cairo or in Alexandria, most of us have seen something of those cities during our local leave, and a fortunate few have visited Luxor and even Assouan. But the steamers ceased running long ago, and now the millionaires haunt the hotels no more. The Egypt we know is very different from the tourist's Egypt. During 1916 most of us were encamped on the bare sands of Sinai, on the unknown Libyan coast, in remote oases far out in the western desert, or in little mosquito-ridden towns on the Nile. In 1917 we marched into Palestine, and spent the summer in the dusty barley-fields outside Gaza, or on the banks of the desolate Wadi Ghuzze. Travel-books describing Egypt and Palestine exist in hundreds, but they dismiss in a few lines the places we know best. The object of this volume is to picture Egypt as the soldier has seen it, from Sollum on the borders of Tripoli to Gaza in Palestine, and from the Mediterranean to the First Cataract at Assouan. It has no military significance, for it only records the trivial doings of a non-combatant who has had the unusual experience of having lived in nearly all the camps occupied at various times by the E.E.F. This book has been prepared under unfavourable conditions, during constant travelling, involving many interruptions. -- p. 5.

Download or read book Street Sounds written by Ziad Fahmy and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the twentieth century roared on, transformative technologies—from trains, trams, and automobiles to radios and loudspeakers—fundamentally changed the sounds of the Egyptian streets. The cacophony of everyday life grew louder, and the Egyptian press featured editorials calling for the regulation of not only mechanized and amplified sounds, but also the voices of street vendors, the music of wedding processions, and even the traditional funerary wails. Ziad Fahmy offers the first historical examination of the changing soundscapes of urban Egypt, highlighting the mundane sounds of street life, while "listening" to the voices of ordinary people as they struggle with state authorities for ownership of the streets. Interweaving infrastructural, cultural, and social history, Fahmy analyzes the sounds of modernity, using sounded sources as an analytical tool for examining the past. Street Sounds also reveals a political dimension of noise by demonstrating how the growing middle classes used sound to distinguish themselves from the Egyptian masses. This book contextualizes sound, layering historical analysis with a sensory dimension, bringing us closer to the Egyptian streets as lived and embodied by everyday people.
