It's been a while since I picked up this book, but I recently revisited it because it earned a spot on my permanent library shelf. At first, I feared giving this book a second read because I thought it'd be outdated (printed in 1988), but it was a thoroughly enjoyable read as a travel (and now historical) novel. Douglas Kennedy's insights are genuine and thoughtful and now that I finished rereading this book, I want to pick up other books he has written.
BEYOND THE PYRAMIDS is a delightfully wry chronicle of travels through a country of incongruity - an Egypt encompassing a diversity of cultural influences which often belies its image of 'archaeological theme park'. With an acute eye for the unusual, the interesting or the plain absurd, Douglas Kennedy takes us on a continually surprising tour beyond the pyramids, to a place where Bedouin watch American television in an oasis; where monks in the desert are computer-literate; and where an entire community of Cairo's poor have set up home in a cemetary. 'BEYOND THE PYRAMIDS seems to me to have the satisfying insights of a Paul Theroux' Maeve Binchy Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
