Sinopsis

Egyptian Resistance explores Egypt's long history of defying foreign rule, from the Persian conquests to the Ottoman era. It examines how Egyptians repeatedly rose against seemingly insurmountable odds, highlighting the nation's resilience and the enduring quest for sovereignty. The book reveals recurring patterns of foreign invasion and occupation that shaped Egypt's history and the internal factors fueling resistance movements. For example, resistance wasn't solely a reaction to external forces; it also reflected Egyptians' aspirations for self-determination and internal reform. The book analyzes key periods, including the Roman period, spotlighting cultural and religious tensions that sparked revolts. It also examines the Ottoman era, focusing on the dynamics of Ottoman governance and the emergence of various forms of resistance, from armed rebellion to cultural preservation. By exploring these historical contexts, the book argues that cycles of foreign domination and resistance have fundamentally shaped Egyptian national identity, fostering a deep-seated commitment to self-determination. Egyptian Resistance begins by setting the stage with Egypt's geographic, social, and political landscape, then progresses chronologically through the Persian, Roman, and Ottoman periods, concluding with the legacy and continued relevance of these movements.

Bohemians - A Very Short Introduction - cover

Bohemians - A Very Short...

The Romantic myth of Bohemia originated in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new conditions faced by artists and writers when the previous system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of the Age of Revolution. Without the patron system, the artist was free to move around, to seek an audience wherever fortune beckoned. This marketing model likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life helps to explain part of the bohemian myth, but not all of it. Most bohemians have scant interest in commercial gain and are not so itinerant after all, confining their movements to down-market urban neighborhoods where the rent is cheap and the morals are loose. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction traces the myth of Bohemia through its various fictional manifestations, from Henry Murger's novel Scenes of Bohemian Life and Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème to Aki Kaurismäki's film La vie de Bohème and Jonathan Larson's musical Rent. It goes on to examine the history of different bohemian communities, including those in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York. David Weir also considers the politics of Bohemia and traces the careers of the artists Gustave Courbet and Pablo Picasso and the great chanteuses Yvette Guilbert, Fréhel, and Edith Piaf in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.

MINSTREL BOY: Picasso of Song Part 2 
This book is about is one of the major cultural figures of the modern age, combining a reverence for the traditions of many forms of American music with a distinctly postmodern sensibility. It is no exaggeration to state that he has revolutionised the art of poetic songwriting. He is a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Pulitzer Prize and numerous other awards, as well as being arguably the most influential single artist in the history of rock music.  
This book is the second volume of Chris Gregory’s Picasso of Song, a highly comprehensive ‘trilogy in reverse’ which takes ‘deep dives’ into all of the songs, while exploring the many ways in which he has used live performance to expand and deepen the effects of his art. Following on from the acclaimed Determined to Stand which covered his later years, Minstrel Boy focuses on the many artistic and personal metamorphoses he went through between 1967 and 1990 - what might be called his ‘years of struggle’. Dylan could easily have rested on the laurels of his early fame but he refused to be categorised or ‘boxed in’ by the intense personal pressures that were placed on him. Instead, he continued his restless quest to find new ways to present his songs to fans and followers, knowing that they would hang onto every word he said or sang.
