A Man of Letters
Author: Taha HuseeinPublisher: American University in Cairo Press
ISBN: 1617974722
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Taha Hussein (1889-1973), blind from early childhood, rose from humble beginnings to pursue a distinguished career in Egyptian public life (he was at one time Minister of Education). But he was most influential through his voluminous, varied, and controversial writings. He became known by the unofficial title 'Dean of Arabic Letters,' and the distinguished Egyptian critic Louis Awad described him as "the greatest single intellectual and cultural influence on the literature of his period." Based on the true story of a friend of the author, this novel-unfolding between Cairo and Paris and through vivid personal correspondence-draws a picture of a powerful friendship and of a young man's dilemma: the man of letters of the title finds himself split between-and in love with-two cultures essentially incompatible, East and West. In his desperate struggle to reconcile them his soul is estranged and he is thrown-or escapes-deeper into the backstreet abyss of First World War Paris. In the end it is perhaps the very impracticality of his own morality that destroys him.
Man-Eaters of the World
Author: Alex MacCormickPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1632202379
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 777
Book Description
Humans may have reached the top of the food chain, but the world is still teeming with apex predators who retain the advantage in their own environments, and sometimes venture into ours, especially when they have gained a taste for human blood. Survivors, hunters, and witnesses recall first-hand accounts of hair-raising, fatal encounters with massive and dangerous beasts of the wild, describing the often rapid and unstoppable series of events that result in devastation and serve to bolster the legends of the world’s flesh-hungry maneaters. Relentless wolves and rogue elephants, swarms of fire ants and vicious sharks, ruthless panthers, grizzly bears, crocodiles, and even human cannibals—all have taken their toll on unsuspecting travelers.
