Product Description
The author sets before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity. The aim was to render the legends, which form the second portion of this work, a picture of old Greek life; its customs, superstitions, and princely hospitalities, for which reason they are given at somewhat greater length than is usual in works of this kind.

Rick Steves, the man responsible for the Europe Through the Back Door book series as well as PBS’s Travel the World television series, this time leaves the European continent to explore the Middle East. His attitude is one of curiosity, yet also filled with warmth; his philosophy, “Our neighborhood may be bigger than we think, and travel is a fine way to meet the neighbors.” Beginning in Jerusalem, Steves gives a brief introduction to the region, giving attention to the sights important to the three religions who consider it a holy city: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He then explores the food, people, and history of Israel, exploring open-air markets, the Dead Sea, a kibbutz, Yad Vashem, Masada, Tel Aviv, and Akko. He mixes some practical advice with the lush scenery, speaking honestly of the dangers of the region, but also hoping that won’t stop you from using some common sense in evaluating whether or not to visit. From Israel, Steves travels to Egypt, where he visits the pyramids of Giza (and he looks delightfully ridiculous riding his camel), modern Cairo, and Luxor. He hops a bike into a rural village and passes a morning at the Valley of the Kings. One of the benefits of travel to Egypt is that the “streets are living museums,” and we get an idea of this in the bustling pictures of Cairo. Steves is a terrific tour guide, and this video will feed your dreams of travel. –Jenny Brown

Israel & Egypt: From Old Jerusalem to the Sphinx

Product Description
Putumayo is pleased to present Arabic Groove, a cutting- edge collection of hip and danceable tracks from North Africa and the Middle East. Arabic Groove reveals the ways funk, hip-hop and dance have blended with Arabic music to create exciting new sounds. This forward-looking compilation features some of the most electrifying music filling fashionable nightclubs from Paris to Cairo, and includes remixes by Transglobal Underground, Volodia and Bill LaswellAmazon.com
While not yet part of mainstream American music, Middle Eastern music, as evidenced by the rise of Algerian pop star Khaled in France, has sidled up to other club music forms in the hot spots of Paris, London, and elsewhere. To that end, Putumayo’s Arabic Groove brings us up to date with their compilation, a jubilant sonic party rooted in ancient musical tradition and structure, steeped in the au courant flavors of hip-hop, R&B, and other urban western forms. Lebanese, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Algerian artists such as former Londoner Natacha Atlas (who has been featured with both Transglobal Underground and Jah Wobble) contribute 11 songs which lend themselves to sensual dance, exotic drink, and glamorous gatherings of multicultural hipsters. Traditional Arabic instruments such as the flute and oud blend with guitar, bass, and drums, laying down plenty of funk, fun, and full-on booty-shaking rhythms. A heady high point is the disco-nomad jam “Leiley,” a Transglobal Underground remix of a hit by Lebanese songstress Dania. Arabic Groove is a feast of a sampler. –Paige La Grone

Arabic Groove

Product Description
Youssef Chahine’s masterpiece. A street level expose of sexual obsession and working class madness that s as grimy and claustrophobic as its Cairo railway station setting. From its noirish opening scene, in which a scruffy newspaper hawker discovers a rag strewn living quarters filled with cutout girlie pictures and intones, I knew then that something was desperately wrong, it s clear that the film has departed from the upper class realms of typical 1950s Arab cinema. Chahine moves his camera as fluidly as a sleepwalker through a nightmarish world where, as luggage porters strive to unionize and all sections of society swarm along the tracks, the crippled street vendor Qinawi (played by Chahine himself) feverishly desires a brash, beautiful and utterly uninterested lemonade seller, with dangerous results. Combining Italian neo-realism, Egyptian romanticism and overheated film noir, Cairo Station was unlike anything anyone had seen on movie screens before.
