Al-Kitaba Wa-l-Uslub

(1999) This book approaches its subject of Arabic writing and composition by looking at the discrete entities, including vocabulary, grammar, and transformations, which together comprise style. Assuming that different areas of writing require different styles, it presents examples of such areas (expressing time, instructions, physical descriptions, and so on), and for each example the relevant stylistic elements—vocabulary, grammar, and transformations—are outlined. The book, entirely in Arabic, is clear and logical, and is aimed at intermediate to advanced levels, although, with the assistance of a teacher, students at elementary levels will also find much of interest.

Protecting Pharaoh’s Treasures

Growing up in Egypt’s Nile Delta, Wafaa El Saddik was fascinated by the magnificent pharaonic monuments from an early age, and as a student she dreamed of conducting excavations herself and working in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. At a time when Egyptology was dominated by men, especially those with close connections to the regime, she was determined to succeed, and secured grants to study in Boston, London, and Vienna, eventually becoming the first female general director of the country’s most prestigious museum. She launched the first general inventory of the museum’s cellars in its more than hundred-year history, in the process discovering long-forgotten treasures, as well as confronting corruption and nepotism in the antiquities administration.
In this very personal memoir, she looks back at the history of her country and asks, What happened to Egypt? Where did Nasser’s bright new beginning go wrong? Why did Sadat fail to bring peace? Why did the Egyptians allow themselves to be so corrupted by Mubarak? And why was the Muslim Brotherhood able to achieve power? But her first concern remains: How can the ancient legacy of her country truly be protected?

Lexique Franco Egyptien Le par

“Le présent lexique a été conçu pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’?gypte et à sa culture, ayant ou non une connaissance de l’arabe littéraire ou d’autres dialectes arabes. En raison du caractère fluctuant de l’arabe parlé, nous avons évité aussi bien les traductions trop relevées que celles jugées trop familières, pour nous attacher à une langue « intermédiaire ». Cette langue parlée privilégie les mots concrets ou, à défaut, les périphrases. Les mots et les phrases sont intrinsèquement liés à une situation donnée qui est celle de la vie courante. Ce lexique a été réalisé sur la base du premier ouvrage du genre, celui de Jacques Jomier. Le parler du Caire, lexique pratique français-arabe, publié par l’Ifao en 1976 et réédité en 1990. Au-delà de sa simple mise à jour, rendue nécessaire par l’évolution de la langue, on s’est attaché à étendre le vocabulaire couvert et à enrichir la liste des mots arabes correspondant aux différents sens d’un même terme français. Il a également paru utile de présenter les mots en écriture arabe et pas seulement en transcription latine. Pour autant, par sa taille, ce lexique ne saurait prétendre au nom de dictionnaire.”
