Overview
E.M. Forster's study of Alexandria, which he wrote while stationed in the city during the First World War, has appeared only once in the United States and has long been out of print. This new edition will add the essays "Pharos" and "the Pharillon" which were published in 1923 and which completed his attempt, "after the fashion of a pageant, to marshal the activities of Alexandria during two thousand two hundred and fifty years of her existence."
Forster was a great admirer of Baedeker and Murray's guides and Alexandria: A History and a Guide is cross-referenced to help the reader and the traveler "link the present and the past." Beautifully illustrated, this is both a guide to one of the great city-centers of the Mediterranean and a subtle work of history, comparative civilization, and religion.
