by Maged Negm
This book provides the first full record of Theban Tomb 409, that of Simut called Kyky, the Chief Counter of Cattle of Amun during the reign of Rameses II. The decoration of the tomb is interesting for its subject matter, variety of detail and artistic presentation, and in particular for its funerary and religious scenes and texts. Based on new photographs and a thorough reappraisal of the texts. 120p (Aris & Phillips 1997)

The Tuaregs
H. T. Norris
Hitherto studies of the Tuaregs have concentrated on the nomads of the north to the neglect of their southern brethren of Mali and Niger who have contributed most to the spread of Islamic culture and institutions. Their share in the foundation of towns like Timbuctoo, in the transmission of ideas particularly from Mamluk Egypt, their mystic lodges and their scholars played a key role in the penetration of Islam into the remote regions of the ...

Lopes: The English in Portugal 1383-1387
translated by Derek W Lomax and R J Oakley
It is astonishing that this is the first English translation of these Chronicles, as they are undoubtably amongst the finest produced in the Middle Ages and treat an important episode in the Hundred Years War. Lopes' mastery of dramatic narrative and picturesque description, so ably captured in this translation, found a fit subject in the foreign interventions and the revolutionary changes that took place in the second half of the 14th ...

Juan Ramon Jiménez: Platero and I
translated by Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres
Juan Ramón Jiménez, 1956 winner of the Nobel Prize, published Platero and I in 1914. Like Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Platero and I is a book not only for children, but for adults as well. It is an allegory of the deepest human emotions. As with Don Quixote, in the Spanish golden Age, Platero and I has become the classic of 20th ...

Juan Ramón Jiménez: Selected Poems (Poesias escogidas)
edited and translated by Salvador Ortiz-Carboneres
Juan Ramón Jimenez (1881-1958) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, yet his work remains far less well-known in the English-speaking world than it deserves. Jimenez was a prolific writer - his collected verse fills twenty volumes - and his early poems were first published whilst still in his teens. During the early twentieth century Jimenez wrote and published voraciously and was very active within ...

Mammals of Ancient Egypt
by Dale J.Osborn and Jana Osbornová
The Egyptians had a peculiarly close relationship with animals as every visitor to Egypt who is captivated by the paintings and reliefs of the flora and fauna becomes aware. Animals seem to penetrate into every aspect of their daily lives and religious beliefs; both as wild animals for hunting and domestic animals for food and companionship. This encyclopedic and authoritative book focuses on the mammals depicted by the Egyptians and the many ...
