  • Epilogue
    Roger H. Jr. Guichard
    This book represents the retrospective view of Egypt by a highly readable polymath. His description of Egypt, the subject of nearly half of his time overseas living and working in the Arab and Muslim World, shows that it has lost none of its attraction, and the celebrated light of Egypt has lost none of its luster. The caricature of Hosni Mubarak that appears on the front cover...

  • My Story
    Roger H. Jr. Guichard
    My Story tells the tale of one man’s coming to adulthood in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because of his international focus, the Author had said little about a subject that might interest a reader familiar with his existing body of work, that is, himself.

    Roger H. Jr. Guichard / Roger HJrGuichard

Niger may seem an odd pairing with ...

  • Masr
    Roger H. Jr. Guichard / Roger HJrGuichard
    Visitors have often remarked on the light of Egypt. There is something about the soft diffusion of sunlight in the country that makes it visually special. Beginning in the early nineteenth century a combination of that light and the new, more sensitive technology of lithography conspired together to allow artists to capture with unprecedented fidelity the country’s monuments, P...

  • Niebuhr in Egypt
    Roger H. Jr. Guichard / Roger HJrGuichard
    Endorsements:''A number of recent books have underlined the importance of Carsten Niebuhr’s travels in the Near East, but no one has brought Niebuhr, and his scholarship, to life as successfully as does Roger Guichard in this highly readable book. Guichard accomplishes this by describing in detail how Niebuhr spent his year (1761-62) in Egypt, negotiating the suspicions of many...
