Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Mother of the World as seen through the lens of French photographer Jean Pierre Ribire and the pen of Egyptian writer Sonallah Ibrahim: The result is a rich and highly original portrait of a city. Ribire's seventy powerful photographs capture fugitive moments in urban life and architecture, in which historic grandeur meets modernity in a race with time. Meanwhile, Sonallah Ibrahim's incisive exploration of Cairo's past and his own past reveals a man living on the edge of a city living on the edge of itself.
About the Author
Sonallah Ibrahim has written a number of novels and short stories, a collection of which has been translated into English and published as The Smell of It. Jean Pierre Ribire has exhibited in France, England, Egypt, and Sudan. Sudan: The Passing of Time was his first book of photographs.
