Memories of Alexandria - From a Void to Nothingness (Paperback)

Set against the background of what was then the world most cosmopolitan city; "Memories of Alexandria" tell the story of a Spanish-Egyptian family, from the years immediately after the Spanish Civil War to Egypt's decades of revolution, unrest and conflict between the late forties and the mid-sixties. The story line runs in incessantly back and forth, embracing, like lively journey, past resent and future, portraying historical accounts and people from all walks of life with a philosophical and cynical approach to the scheming and false values of our time - and the uselessness of it all. It is also the story of the "uprooted", those Egyptian khawagat foreigners) who after revolution and wars, were forced out of the country by unforeseen and tragic circumstances. The writing is sincere, cynical, ironic, candid, spicy, harsh, bold and desperate. In nutshell, "Memories of Alexandria - From a void to nothingness" - is a surrealistic philosophical story of bygone times. Ricardo Wahby Tapia is now retired after forty years of business, mainly in the tourist industry. He lives in Madrid and Cabezon de la Sal (Cantabria).
