Following her Egypt Guidebook and Nile Ladies, her useful little volume relating the stories of the women who contributed so much to the history of Egypt, this time Ellen Grady narrates the tales of the great men who played their part in the history of this unique country. These interesting thumbnail biographies begin with a divinity, an architect and a saint, and continue with kings, legendary commanders, explorers, archaeologists, a philologist and a writer. Not all of these stalwart heroes were Egyptian, there were also several Frenchmen, a Macedonian, a Kurd, an Italian, a few British, and an Albanian. They were the pillars of Egypt's long civilization. Purposeful, unwavering, and strong.
