Descripción

Lediglich die Broschur ist leicht berieben. Sonst ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the booklet is slightly rubbed. Otherwise a very good and clean copy. - The extraordinary tapestry of Cairos past and present comes vividly to life in this magisterial study by Andr�aymond, arguably the premier social historian of the Arab world. The most deeply observed and historically nuanced account ever given of the greatest Arab city of northern Africa, this book shows us Cairo from the glimmer of its beginnings in the Arab conquest of Egypt in 640 through its transformation into the modern center of Middle Eastern life today. Andr�aymond (7 August 1925 � 18 February 2011) was professor emeritus at the University of Provence. He was an expert on the history of the city in the Arab world. (Wikipedia). ISBN 9789774161247
