Paperback. Condition: Good. The Batrakanis are a family caught between two worlds, 'birds of passage' who have left Syria and come to rest in the cosmopolitan Egypt of the first half of the twentieth century. Their patriarch is Georges Bey Batrakini, a man driven by the pursuit of wealth. His method of achieving riches is manufacturing the tarboosh which, like the Batrakanis, is the product of another culture but has been adopted by the Egyptians. For four generations, the Batrakanis prosper against the backdrop of English occupation and two world wars. However, in 1952, Cairo's European quarter is set alight and King Farouq is overthrown, leaving the country to be ruled by Egyptians for the first time since the pharaohs. The tarboosh goes out of fashion and the Baraktranis must move on to start another exile elsewhere. In Birds of Passage, Sole briiliantly evokes the atmosphere of Cairo as Egypt inches towards independence.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is mid-summer in 1891 and Emile Touta is gathering his extended family for the annual photograph on the beach at Alexandria, when he falls in love with Dora. Soon they marry. Helping in her new husband s portrait studio, Dora finds herself drawn to photography and her work soon eclipses Emile s efforts. The studio s reputation soars and Cairo s high society is swiftly clamouring to be photographed there. However Dora s behaviour and ambition shock many. Meanwhile nationalism is taking root in British-occupied Egypt. Dora, in a radical gesture of her own, leaves for Khartoum, to cover the British conquest of Sudan. Alone there, she begins finally to reconcile her identities as a talented artist and a woman of her society. Robert Sole s evocation of late 19th century Egyptian society, peopled by a confidently and exuberantly drawn cast of characters, is a powerful historical fiction which makes no concession to sentimental nostalgia. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
