Centers of Civilization

القاهرة: مدينة الفن والتجارة

The evolution of the Moslem capital of Cairo is studied beginning with the Arab conquest, which led to the widespread intermingling of peoples on two continents, and ending with the discovery of the route around the Cape of Good Hope, which was to undermine Egypt's active international role. The book is written for people of various interests.

کتاب جابی بود

سرشار از جزییات، از آن نوعی که خیلی ها دوست دارند
ای کاش تعدادی عکس می داشت
و نیز بیشتر تمرکز کتاب بر دوران فاطمیان تا ممالیک است. اگر به طور یکنواخت تری کل تاریخ شهر را میداشت بهتر بود

قاهره عجب شهر بزرگ و زنده ای بوده به هر حال
