Social Life in Egypt

Stanley Lane-Poole’s succinct but detailed survey of Egyptian society examines life in the city and life in the country, its schools and universities, its museums and mosques, its art and architecture, and Europe’s influence on it after a recent European campaign there. With over 100 illustrations and pictures included, Poole’s interesting analysis of Egypt includes his thoughts on their system of government, the nature of religion in the everyday life of an Egyptian, and the treatment and role of women in Egyptian society.
