Twentieth-Century Egyptian Art: The Private Collection of Sherwet Shafei

The private collection of a prominent Egyptian art gallery owner.

Egypt’s modern art scene has been marked by many influential local and foreign painters. Mona Abaza retraces the highlights of the country’s twentieth-century art world through the private collection of one of Cairo’s most reputable private gallery owners, Sherwet Shafei. The 200 color reproductions of paintings from Sherwet Shafei’s collection represent works from very early pioneers such as Mahmoud Saïd and Ragheb Ayad to later figures such as Hamed Nada and Youssef Sida.

In a comprehensive introduction that examines the life and career of Sherwet Shafei and her pivotal role in promoting and creating a market for modern Egyptian art, the author also addresses the tendencies of emerging art collectors in Egypt’s “blossoming” market, the burdens of forgery, and the impact of globalization on the art industry.

This book serves as a repository of Egyptian cultural heritage by offering a rare viewing of a valuable collection that has yet to be displayed in its entirety.

Judgment by Anubis [Egyptian Shifters 2] (Siren Publishing Classic)

While in a coma, Jinny finds herself standing before the Egyptian god Anubis to be judged.  After shifting from his half man/half jackal form, Jinny is instantly attracted to the man, falling for his dark, good looks.

Anubis is drawn to the mortal woman he is to judge.  As he starts to lose his heart to Jinny he delays passing judgment, keeping her lingering between two worlds–the realm of the living and the underworld where he dwells.

The longer Anubis puts of his judgment the weaker Jinny becomes until he is forced to make his decision.  His choice–he either lets her return to the realm of the living, or let her remain in the underworld, which would mean her death.

Egypt in the Era of Hosni Mubarak: 1981 – 2011

A new, provocative book from the author of Whatever Happened to the Egyptians?

Galal Amin once again turns his attention to the shaping of Egyptian society and the Egyptian state in the half-century and more that has elapsed since the Nasserite revolution, this time focusing on the era of President Mubarak.

As usual, he orders his chapters thematically, addressing such pressing issues as corruption, poverty, the plight of the middle class, and of course, the economy. Along the way, he directs his penetrating gaze toward the Mubarak regime’s uneasy relationship with the relatively free press it has encouraged, the vexing issue of presidential succession, and Egypt’s relations with the Arab world and the United States. Addressing such themes from the perspective of an active participant in Egyptian intellectual life throughout the era, Galal Amin portrays the Mubarak regime’s stance in the domestic and international arenas as very much a product of history, which, while not exonerating the regime, certainly helps to explain it.

Early Dynastic Egypt

Early Dynastic Egypt spans the five centuries preceding the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. This was the formative period of ancient Egyptian civilization, and it witnessed the creation of a distinctive culture that was to endure for 3,000 years. This book examines the background to that great achievement, the mechanisms by which it was accomplished, and the character of life in the Nile valley during the first 500 years of Pharaonic rule.
The results of over thirty years of international scholarship and excavation are presented in a single highly illustrated volume. It traces the re-discovery of Early Dynastic Egypt, explains how the dynasties established themselves in government and concludes by examining the impact of the early state on individual communities and regions.
