Classic Egyptian Movies : 101 must-see films
A prolific film industry has flourished on the banks of the Nile since the earliest days of cinema, producing movies that have been hugely popular and immensely influential not only in Egypt, Sameh Fathy - a film critic with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Egyptian cinema - here selects the 101 most important movies to come out of Cairo's famous studios over the last eighty years. From classic comedies like Salama is doing fine to social dramas like The second wife, and from literary adaptations like The call of the curlew to masterpieces of the cinematic art like The night of counting the years, the author introduces us to each film's writers, producers, directors, and stars, and explains the movie's particular historical, cultural, or artistic significance. Illustrated throughout with posters and stills from all the movies covered.
Diary of a Jewish Muslim
Egyptian Muslims and Jews were not always at odds. Before the Arab-Israeli wars, before the mass exodus of Jews from Egypt, there was harmony. Spanning the 1930s to the 1960s, this sweeping novel accompanies Galal, a young boy with a Jewish mother and a Muslim father, through his childhood and boyhood in a vibrant popular quarter of Cairo. With his schoolboy crushes and teen rebellions, Galal is deeply Egyptian, knit tightly into the middle-class fabric of manners, morals, and traditions that cheerfully incorporates and transcends religion -- a fabric about to be torn apart by a bigger world of politics that will put Galal's very identity to the test.
