وصف الكتاب | “Birds of Amber” is the second part of the “Alexandria Trilogy” by the great novelist Ibrahim Abdel Meguid. The novel deals with Alexandria in the wake of the announcement of the nationalization of the Suez Canal and the tripartite aggression against Egypt in 1956 and the exodus of foreigners by the thousands, and what this sudden change brought about in the almost complete transformation of this cosmopolitan city in which the Egyptians, Greeks, Italians, French, English, Jews and others lived in harmony and complete peace. |
