Founded by Alexander the Great over 2,300 years ago, Alexandria has
belonged both to the Mediterranean and to Egypt, a luxuriant
out-planting of Europe on the coast of Africa, but also a city of
the East-the fabled cosmopolitan town that fascinated travelers,
writers, and poets in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where
French and Arabic, Italian and Greek were spoken in the cafes and
on the streets.
In the pages of An Alexandrian Anthology, we follow the delight of
travelers discovering the strangeness of the city and its variety
and pleasures. Most of all they are haunted by the city's
resplendent past-the famous Library, the temple built by Cleopatra
for Antony, the great Pharos lighthouse, one of the seven wonders
of the world, of which only traces remain-we follow our travelers
here too as they voyage through an immense ghost city of the
imagination."
