Egypt has changed enormously in the last half century, and nowhere more so than in the villages of the Nile Valley. Electrification, radio, and television have brought the larger world into the houses. Government schools have increased educational horizons for the children. Opportunities to work in other areas of the Arab world have been extended to peasants as well as to young artisans from the towns. Urbanization has brought many families to live in the belts of substandard housing around the major cities. But the conservative and traditional world of unremitting labor that characterizes the lives of the Egyptian peasants, or fellaheen, also survives, and nowhere has it been better described than in this classic account by Father Henri Habib Ayrout, an Egyptian Jesuit sociologist who dedicated most of his life to creating a network of free schools for rural children at a time when there were very few. First published in French in 1938, the book went through several revisions by the author before being translated and published in English in 1963. The often poetic yet factual and deeply empathetic description Father Ayrout detailed of fellah life is still reliable and still poignant; a measure by which the progress of the countryside must always be gauged.

Excerpt: ...In reading this picturesque description of the reward of politeness, do not fail to remember that the person speaking is a poor, Egyptian peasant earning only his two and a half piastres a day. (About twelve cents). Sabah el-her, ya lamme! Sabbah el-ward 'ala-z-zen. Ya min sabbah, sadde deno, ivistara, we-la baas 'ale den, 5 wistara 'abd balfen, yistahil rukub el-hel. Good morning to you assembled here! The roses wished the glorious one good morning. He who wishes a good morning, wipes out his debts, And buys and has no debts, 5 And buys a black slave for two thousand, Who is worthy to ride upon horses. 2. "The glorious one" is the Prophet. With this greeting of the roses, compare No. 6, 1. 7 and No. 7, 1. 2. 5. That is, at an exceptionally high price. The coin is not indicated; 2000 is frequently used as a large, round number. 6.

The eye is black from Allah, Wherefore then the eye-paint? And the cheek is red from Allah, Wherefore then Joseph's-beauty"? 2. Their black, shining eyes are the pride of the Egyptian women. Eye-paint (kohl) is the well-known, black, coloring matter, which is used to day, as in ancient Egypt, to blacken the edges of the eyelids. The peasant-women often disagreeably overdo it. 4. "Joseph's-beauty" is the name of a red cosmetic (compare Klunzinger p. 184). Joseph is often mentioned as 'an ideal of beauty. Mecca and Egypt.

The Egyptians is a vibrant, accessible introduction to the people who lived along the Nile for almost thirty-five centuries. In this collection of essays, eleven internationally renowned Egyptologists present studies of ancient Egyptians arranged by social type—slaves, craftsmen, priests, bureaucrats, the pharaoh, peasants, and women, among others. These individual essays are filled with a wealth of historical detail that both informs and fascinates: we learn, for example, that Egyptian peasants could not afford burial (their corpses were abandoned on the desert fringe), and that it was the bureaucrats who made the Egyptian system tick (the pyramids could not have been built without them). Read consecutively, the portraits merge to create a larger picture of Egyptian culture, state, and society. The framework of the Egyptian state, in particular, is touched upon in each essay, describing the meticulous administration and well-organized hierarchical system that fostered centuries of stability and prosperity.
