  The Influence of Ancient Egypt...

  The fascination with Ancient Egypt’s visual and structural aesthetics has significantly influenced Western art and architecture, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. Known as the Egyptian Revival, this movement emerged as part of a broader romantic and neoclassical interest in ancient civilizations. Following Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and the publication of Description de l'Égypte, Europe became enamored with Egyptian motifs, leading to their incorporation into a wide range of architectural projects. 
  One of the most recognizable contributions of Egyptian Revival architecture is the use of obelisks and pyramid forms in public spaces and memorials. These iconic shapes, once central to Egyptian religious and ceremonial design, were reinterpreted in cemeteries, government buildings, and monuments across Europe and the United States. The Washington Monument in the U.S., for instance, is a clear example of how Egyptian form was adapted to convey power and permanence. 
  In interior design and decorative arts, Egyptian Revival made a mark through bold geometric patterns, lotus flower motifs, and symbolic elements like the sun disk and winged scarab. Furniture, wallpaper, jewelry, and textiles adopted these styles, evoking the mystery and majesty of the Nile. This decorative trend became especially popular after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, which triggered a new wave of Egyptomania in the early 20th century.

Lastly, her unusual grasp for ´Portuguese quaintness´ also makes this book worth buying.” David Peres Rebelo

  Mountainish

  Zsuzsanna Gahse

  A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
  Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
  In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
