In the pages of An Alexandrian Anthology, we follow the delight of travelers discovering the strangeness of the city and its variety and pleasures, its beaches and gardens, its elegant villas, duck shoots in the marshes, desert expeditions to ancient monasteries and vanished vineyards. Most of all they are haunted by the city's resplendent past--the famous Library, the temple built by Cleopatra for Antony, the great Pharos lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the world, of which only traces remain--we follow our travelers here too as they voyage through an immense ghost city of the imagination.

A nostalgic, gorgeously illustrated anthology of nineteenth and twentieth century writing on Alexandria At the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Alexandria was a small backwater with a population of less than five thousand. Then in 1801 Muhammad Ali arrived in Egypt as second‐in‐command of an Albanian contingent, part of an Ottoman force sent to re‐occupy the country after Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion in 1798. By 1805, Ali had become ruler of Egypt and in a short time, he built a new modern cosmopolitan Alexandria--a thriving commercial hub and court city, the country's unofficial capital, and home to a large number of immigrants from the surrounding Mediterranean. Alexandrea ad Ægyptum, the old Latin adage meaning "Alexandria by Egypt," re‐emerged, underlining Alexandria's singular separateness. Foreign dominance was further reinforced by British colonialism beginning in 1882, until 26 July 1956, when, from the parapet of the Bourse on Muhammad Ali Square in Alexandria, Gamal Abd al-Nasser announced the nationalization of the Suez Canal. As the city's sizeable foreign community left, following the Suez War then through waves of nationalization, the international Alexandria ceased to exist. This beautifully illustrated anthology brings together the work of contemporaneous writers who witnessed the stages of Alexandria's dramatic rise and growth during the nineteenth and early- to mid-twentieth centuries.

This historical book is a sequel to Caesar's Commentaries on the Civil War, and it is widely assumed that his lieutenant Aulus Hirtius ghost wrote it. After the battle of Pharsalus, Caesar pursues the defeated Pompey to Alexandria, only to discover that his adversary has been killed by the Egyptians. Caesar later chose to ally himself with Cleopatra, sister of Ptolemy XIII, enduring a siege that resulted in the infamous burning of the library of Alexandria, according to Plutarch. Caesar turned his attention to Asia after winning the Battle of the Nile in 47 BC. The book concludes with Caesar's famous remark 'Veni, Vidi, vici' (I came, I saw, I conquered) after his victory over Pontus at the Battle of Zena.
