The Pharaoh's Shadow : Travels in Ancient and Modern Egypt Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In a ruined temple along the Nile, Anthony Sattin sees a woman praying to the gods of ancient Egypt to bless her with a child.

Later that day, a policeman stops his taxi to ask to borrow a mobile phone to call his mother.

The ancient rubs up against the modern just as dramatically as when Flaubert wrote, 'Egypt is a wonderful place for contrasts - splendid things gleam in the dust".

Anthony Sattin has tracked down extraordinary examples of ancient survivals in the hurly-burly of modern Egypt.
