Finding himself in Alexandria in the winter of 2010, Peter
Stothard, editor of the TLS and former editor of The Times, is
forced to contemplate his past in circumstances he does not expect.
The aftermath of a bombing and the onset of the Arab Spring place
obstacles in his plans to complete a long-delayed biography of
Cleopatra. Minded by two guides, whose motives are mixed and
mysterious, he visits Alexandria's ancient sites and revisits
places and people from his own life, an Essex childhood among
military engineers, Latin and Greek at Oxford and journalism high
and low in London. In this extraordinary book, part memoir and part
travel literature, written against the background of the fracturing
police state of Egypt, a man and a woman from the author's school
days are as pressing as the political minders of today.
