Description:Alexandria ... How can one recover the city of his childhood? What nostalgic pull wills him back to the traces of his past? A wish, perhaps, to find in secret corners the Alexandrian child that once was? With the writing of a guidebook to Alexandria - a pretext, of sorts - the difficult descent into the abyss of memory is attempted, deep in the myth and the history of universal city. When the clepsydra is reserved, seven days need suffice for this esoteric pursuit of a place both celestial and earthly. The material holds the immaterial, waiting through the centuries for each soul who longs to return. Landmarks of the past are still there: the Cecil Hotel, the Corniche, Ramleh, Gomrok el Adim, Sidi Bishr, the Rue Fouad, Chatby, Qait Bey ... But where will your steps lead you now that no familiar faces remain to warm your sight, now that beloved voices have fallen silent?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
