L'Egypte des rois 1922-1953
L'Egypte royale de l'entre-deux-guerres, lieu d'évasion et de dépaysement que célèbrent Henry de Bordeaux, Louis Bertrand et Laurence Durrell pour ne citer qu'eux, a fasciné plus d'un Européen. Qu'a donc ce pays de si particulier à part ses pyramides, ses mosquées et ses musées, pour attirer à la fois tant de voyageurs et tant de travailleurs ? C'est donc moins l'Histoire politique d'une période définie (1922-1953) que les auteurs présentent ici, que l'image d'une organisation sociale, économique et culturelle.

Britain's Rise to Global Superpower in the Age of Napoleon
The first study to explore all Britain’s key land and sea campaigns from 179–1815 and the two military geniuses who vanquished France. The art of power consists of getting what one wants. That is never more challenging than when a nation is at war. Britain fought a nearly nonstop war against first revolutionary then Napoleonic France from 1793 to 1815. During those twenty-two years, the government formed, financed, and led seven coalitions against France. The French inflicted humiliating defeats on the first five. Eventually Britain and its allies prevailed, not once but twice, by vanquishing Napoleon temporarily in 1814 and definitively in 1815. French revolutionaries had created a new ...
Whose Pharaohs?
Egypt's rich and celebrated ancient past has served many causes throughout history--in both Egypt and the West. Concentrating on the era from Napoleon's conquest and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone to the outbreak of World War I, this book examines the evolution of Egyptian archaeology in the context of Western imperialism and nascent Egyptian nationalism. Traditionally, histories of Egyptian archaeology have celebrated Western discoverers such as Champollion, Mariette, Maspero, and Petrie, while slighting Rifaa al-Tahtawi, Ahmad Kamal, and other Egyptians. This exceptionally well-illustrated and well-researched book writes Egyptians into the history of archaeology and museums in their ow...

REGARD SUR L'EGYPTE AU TEMPS DE BONAPARTE
Encore un livre sur l'Expédition d'Égypte ? Pas tout à fait. Il s'agit bien de cette période, en effet, mais plus précisément celle des treize mois que Bonaparte a passés en Égypte. Jean-Jacques Luthi retrace l'idée qu'a pu se faire Bonaparte de la vie quotidienne en Égypte et plus particulièrement au Caire.
Conscience of the Nation
Artfully combining social and literary history, this unique study explores the dual loyalties of contemporary Egyptian authors from the 1952 Revolution to the present day. Egypt's writers have long had an elevated idea of their social mission, considering themselves 'the conscience of the nation.' At the same time, modern Egyptian writers work under the liberal conception of the writer borrowed from the European model. As a result, each Egyptian writer treads the tightrope between authority and freedom, social commitment and artistic license, loyalty to the state and to personal expression, in an ongoing quest for an elusive literary ideal. With these fundamentals in mind, Conscience of the Nation examines Egyptian literary production over the past fifty years, surveying works by established writers, as well as those of dozens of other authors who are celebrated in Egypt but whose writings are largely unknown to the foreign reader. Novelists and poets, scriptwriters and playwrights, critics and journalists all have battled with and tried to resolve the tensions inherent in the conflicting forces of self and society.
