Excerpt: ...Philce must be seen, and if seen it will also be felt. To descend the river on them is the way to see the two rows of pillars of the great temple to most advantage. Mr. Smith and myself rode on donkeys to Assouan, our baggage following on camels; and Messrs. Lynch and Mill descended the river to see the " cataracts of the Nile," which are well known now to be no cataracts at any season, and into which, when the river is low, children descend for the amusement of travellers, with perfect impunity. I, who had looked down upon the boiling flood of Niagara, had no desire to see the rapids of the Nile. 52 A PIOUS MUSSULMAN. On arriving at Assouan, we found the governor keeping the fast of Rhamazan in as quiet and innocent a manner as possible, by sleeping as many hours of the sunlight as he possibly could. We produced the Governor of Berber's letter of introduction; but the porter, even armed with that, did not dare to break in upon the slumbers of His Excellency; so we sauntered about the bazaar till the arrival of our friends, when we returned en masse, to storm the porter, and, if necessary, carry the governor by a coup ale main. The former yielded at discretion; the latter as discreetly as possible, but apologized for the absence of the coffee and pipes, as no pious Mussulman could look upon them with safety to his soul, in Rhamazan--at least before sunset. We might lodge at his house; but the hint bore, that, for piety's sake, we must board ourselves; whereat we were somewhat grieved: but finding nothing more was to be obtained from this over-righteous governor, we made our bow to him, and while our never-failing stew was preparing, we sallied forth to the little island of Elephantina, opposite Assouan, to see some...

Download or read book Postcolonial Literary Studies written by Robert P. Marzec and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally recognized for its superior scholarship, Modern Fiction Studies was one of the first journals to publish articles on postcolonial studies. Since postcolonialism's inception, scholars have defined, clarified, and enriched its conceptions and theoretical development in the pages of MFS. This anthology collects the best and most important articles on postcolonial literary studies published in MFS in the past thirty years. Postcolonial Literary Studies brings together groundbreaking scholarship focusing on significant works of fiction by such writers as Chinua Achebe, J. M. Coetzee, Jamaica Kincaid, V. S. Naipaul, Arundhati Roy, Salman Rushdie, Bapsi Sidhwa, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and more. The essays feature ideas that helped shape the discipline from its earliest stages to the present and represent some of the finest examples of literary, theoretical, historical, and cultural criticism. With its focus on literary figures and texts, rather than solely on theory, this volume fills a significant gap in the fields of postcolonialism, global studies, and literary criticism in general. This rich collection of essays by the field’s leading scholars will prove indispensable to instructors and students across a broad spectrum of humanistic studies. It not only highlights the development and transformation of postcolonial literary study but also, by mapping out new directions of study, considers its continual significance and expansion.

Download or read book Imaginary Homelands written by Salman Rushdie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-05-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Read every page of this book; better still, re-read them. The invocation means no hardship, since every true reader must surely be captivated by Rushdie’s masterful invention and ease, the flow of wit and insight and passion. How literature of the highest order can serve the interests of our common humanity is freshly illustrated here: a defence of his past, a promise for the future, and a surrender to nobody or nothing whatever except his own all-powerful imagination.”-Michael Foot, Observer Salman Rushdie’s Imaginary Homelands is an important record of one writer’s intellectual and personal odyssey. The seventy essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover an astonishing range of subjects –the literature of the received masters and of Rushdie’s contemporaries; the politics of colonialism and the ironies of culture; film, politicians, the Labour Party, religious fundamentalism in America, racial prejudice; and the preciousness of the imagination and of free expression. For this paperback edition, the author has written a new essay to mark the third anniversary of the fatwa.
