Description
In Egypt there are more than 100 million people living in an area the size of Ireland. The rest is uninhabitable dessert. But despite this almost apocalyptic density and great hardship the country does not fall into chaos and violent upheaval. Why is that the case?
Jürgen Stryjak lives and reports from Egypt since 1999. In his book he tells us about the history of a country that has for centuries been a cultural melting pot and he describes the strong influence of the river Nile. Stryjak also writes about the economic and political power of the military, the changes that are taking place in a young society and the role of the political Islam. This book reveals many western misconceptions about Egypt and provides new insights into the failure of the pro-democracy movement.

Reviews
What pleased me most of all was this unique German’s capacity for engaging with every detail of life in the popular residential quarters – unlike many of his colleagues and fellow expatriates.
