There is more difference, I venture to say, between the Egypt of Abbas and of Ismail, than between the days of Ismail Pasha in 1865 and the days of David Pasha in 1545.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egypt as We Knew It There seems some excuse for writing down some personal experiences of the last thirty years when they have been spent in Egypt during the time of its great transformation. Those of us who knew Egypt in the days of Ismail, may well talk of old times, though not exactly from an Egyptian point of view. In Egypt a century is of no account, and nothing that took place after the great event of the Christian world, the birth of our Lord, is allowed as ancient. I remember more than twenty-five years ago approaching the town and temple of Denderah for the first time in company with two friends.

Download or read book Writings from Ancient Egypt written by Toby Wilkinson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Man perishes; his corpse turns to dust; all his relatives pass away. But writings make him remembered' In ancient Egypt, words had magical power. Inscribed on tombs and temple walls, coffins and statues, or inked onto papyri, hieroglyphs give us a unique insight into the life of the Egyptian mind. Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has freshly translated a rich and diverse range of ancient Egyptian writings into modern English, including tales of shipwreck and wonder, obelisk inscriptions, mortuary spells, funeral hymns, songs, satires and advice on life from a pharaoh to his son. Spanning over two millennia, this is the essential guide to a complex, sophisticated culture. Translated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Egypt: In the Light of Modern Discoveries The costliness of nearly all truly valuable works upon Ancient Egypt will prevent the owning; the very fullness of some others will prevent the reading; but, after the own ing and reading, there is much that manv can not be blamed for forgetting, while much remains which all should remember. The author of this work has long been a student of Egyp tian history and archaeology. He has studied the monuments and inscriptions in their native land, after visiting them in their exile in the museums of Great Britain and on the Conti nent, and has enjoyed what he knew upon the subject. After much study and repeated visits to Egypt for that purpose, the traveler will come home, as the author has, to find that; in going to Egypt, he left large treasures of. Egyptian knowledge behind him, in the books, essays, translations, and periodicals, as well as original monuments, which are already to be found throughout Europe, and, to some small amount, even in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egypt and the Egyptian Question To understand such conduct on the part of a Mudir, English readers must be informed that the chief duty of a provincial Governor in Egypt is not to prevent injustice or to increase the well - being of the inhabit ants, but to collect the full amount of the taxes, and to avoid giving unnecessary trouble to his superiors. In his officially trained mind the fellaheen are not men and women with human feelings and civil rights who are to be protected and cared for, but rather biped sheep which have to be regularly shorn at ap pointed seasons. Their complaints, therefore, fall on his ears pretty much as the pathetic bleating of the sheep at shearing-time may be supposed to fall on the unsympathetic ears of the wool - dealer's agent who superintends the operation, and who is responsible for the delivery of the full amount of wool contracted for. If his Excellency happens to be a man of a philosophical turn of mind, who likes to bring his conduct into harmony with abstract principles - or, rather to bring abstract principles into harmony with his conduct - he may plausibly adduce the raison.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Account of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 2 I have here and there introduced some remarks relating to the Greeks, thinking that a comparison of the habits and arts of other people, with those of the Egyptians, may be interesting; and the impulse now given to taste in England has induced me to add some observations on decorative art, as well as on colour, form, and proportion, so well understood in ancient times. And as many of the ideas now gaining ground in this country, regarding colour, adaptability of materials, the non-imitation of natural objects for ornamental purposes, and certain rules to be observed in decorative works, have long been advocated by me, and pro perly belong to the subject of Egypt, I think the Opportunity well suited for expressing my opinion upon them while I rejoice that public attention has been invited to take a proper view of the mode of improving taste.

Download or read book Snakewoman of Little Egypt written by Robert Hellenga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jackson Jones is trying to decide whether to remain an anthropology professor in his small Midwestern town, or to return to doing fieldwork among the Mbuti people, in their African Garden of Eden. His ruminations are interrupted by the arrival of a late friend's niece, who has just been sprung from jail. Sunny admits that she shot her husband, an evangelical pastor from the Little Egypt region of Illinois, but he had it coming after forcing her to take on a rattle snake. As an anthropologist, Jackson is curious about Sunny's experiences with The Church of the Burning Bush; as a man, he is not immune to her backwoods sassiness. Although Sunny is pleased to be with a kind partner at last, she is also serious about her belated education--funded by her late uncle--at Jackson's university. French and herpetology compete for her attention, and Jackson's plan to take her to Paris to propose marriage are waylaid when she decides to travel to an academic conference with her biology professor instead. Jackson is crushed and heads for Little Egypt in Sunny's absence, to get to know her ex-husband and to study the snake-handling ceremonies at his evangelical church. Complications ensue, including Jackson's near-death experience and Sunny's murder of her ex, but fate is a positive force for all in the end. Packed with both information and emotion, Snakewoman of Little Egypt delivers Robert Hellenga at the top of his form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tour: A Story of Ancient Egypt It was not possible to feel always, always, the same vehement grief. To-morrow, nay, in an hour, the sorrow would resume its violence; now, in this night of coolness and melody, there was just a brief rest, a moment of annihilation, almost a sense of wistful well-being. And, in this calmer mood, Lucius felt a need to speak a friendly word to his old friend and tutor, as he had not done since the voyage began. He struck the gong beside his couch; and a little black slave appeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Things Seen in Egypt Dictions, of bewildering surprises, of grim tragedy, and farcical humour which reminds one of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic Operas. But, looking at the outer aspect of the country, we may say that Egypt is pre - eminently a land of light. One does not realize at first how much the charm of Egyptian scenery depends on the transparent sunlight which we are now doing so much to destroy with the fogs and smoke of Western civilization. A tourist who for the first time thunders across the Delta in his corridor express on a winter day may find little beauty in the long monotonous lines of the mud-coloured plain with patches of dull green crops. But the sun shines out, and straightway the whole scene is transformed. The little canals shine like ribbons of silver on the purple earth, the field of half-grown clover becomes a shimmer of.
