Beschreibung:
Born in New Jersey and a long-time resident of Cairo, Egypt, writer Maria Golia is the author of many books.
Cairo is a fourteen hundred-year-old desert oasis occupied by 16 million people whose lives are shaped and colored by its proximity to the Nile. In the face of overcrowding, water scarcity, pollution, heat, and dust, the city undergoes a daily cycle, yet its unfolding contemporary nature is seldom explored."Cairo: City of Sand" uncovers the vibrant history and daily life of the city; its living conditions; the city's relationships with "others; " and the languages and social interaction of its varied inhabitants. The book transmits Cairo's overriding message--the breadth of the human capacity for loss, astonishment, and delight.
