{"product_id":"cairo-the-city-victorious-vintage-departures","title":"Cairo: The City Victorious (Vintage Departures)","description":"From a noted journalist who has spent much of his life in Cairo, here is a dazzling cultural excavation of that most ancient, colorful, and multifaceted of cities. The seat of pharaohs and sultans, the prize of conquerors from Alexander to Saladin to Napoleon, Cairo--nicknamed \"the Victorious\"--has never ceased reinventing herself.\n\nWith intimate knowlege, humor, and affection, Rodenbeck takes us on an insider's tour of the magnificent city: its backstreets and bazaars, its belly-dance theaters and hashish dens, its crowded slums and fashionable salons, its incomparably rich past and its challenging future. Cairo: The City Victorious is a unique blend of travel and history, an epic, resonant work that brings one of the world's great metropolises to life in all its dusty, chaotic beauty.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679767274\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0679767274.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rodenbeck, Max\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
