Bol "Egypt. Once a monarchy, now a republic, a caricature of democracy. Yesterday our mothers, and before them our grandmothers, strolled the streets of Cairo, wearing lipstick and the latest fashion, arms, face and hair unveiled for all to see and yet they were proud Muslim women, true daughters of the Prophet. >What has happened? I hear voices, do you hear them? Voices rising from the ashes of Egyptian Andalousia, from the shattered remains of Alexandrian Cordoue. Nasser, Farouk. The colonel and the child-king of 1952. The revolution and the last shreds of life torn apart forever. Diversity has been crushed and only one way of living remains, for better or for worse." Here is the story of Modern Egypt from the burning of Cairo to the nationalization of the Suez Canal and the Six-Day War, admirably portrayed by Gilbert Sinoué. Born in Cairo in 1947, Sinoué experienced first hand the profound transformations of his country that were the genesis for today's, inextricable, explosive situation in the Middle East. Through the destinies of Nasser, the people's Prince, and Farouk, eternal child-king, Sinoué recounts the major events of his city and country with historical precision and the inimitable emotion of one who was there. Gilbert Sinoué has written numerous novels and essays, among which Le Livre de saphir (Prix des Libraires 1995), L'Enfant de Bruges (1999), L'Ambassadrice (2002) and Les Silences de Dieu (Grand Prix de littérature policière 2003). His work is translated all over the world.
