Islamic Designs From Egypt+Cd
The culture of the Muslim world has developed a very specific type of ornamental design, which is grounded in the religious demands of Islam. Also known as Arabesque, the visual language of Islamic design employs a variety of geometric patterns, flor
al elements and ornate calligraphy, all of which are used to decorate furniture and buildings. The flowing nature and mathematical rigour of the Arabesque evoke a sense of eternity and order, which has proved to be aesthetically pleasing.

Egypt
From the Land of the Pharaohs.
The finest treasures from Ancient Egypt.
The art of ancient Egypt that has been handed down to us bears no names of its creators, and yet we value the creations of these unknown masters no less than the works of later centuries, such as statues by Michelangelo or the paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. This book introduces some of the most important masterpieces, ranging from the Old Kingdom during the Third millennium BC, to the Late Period in the 9th century BC.
The works encompass sculptures, reliefs, sarcophagi, murals, masks, and decorative items, most of them now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but some occupying places of honor as part of the World Cultural Heritage in museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Egypt
From ancient Rome to the present day, ancient Egypt has been a source of fascin--ation and inspiration in many other cultures. But why? Christina Riggs introduces the history, art and religion of Egypt from its earliest dynasties to its final fall to Rome - and explores the influence ancient Egypt has had through the centuries. Looking for a vanished past, she argues, always serves some purpose in the present. Often characterized as a 'lost' civilization that was 'discovered' by adventurers and archaeologists, Egypt has meant many things to many different people. Ancient Greek and Roman writers admired ancient Egyptian philosophy, a view that influenced ideas about Egypt in Renaissance Europe and the Arabic-speaking world. In the eighteenth century, secret societies like the Freemasons still upheld the wisdom of ancient Egypt. This changed when Egypt became the focus of Western military strategy and economic exploitation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The remains of ancient Egypt came to be seen as exotic, primitive or even dangerous, embroiled as they were in the politics of racial science and archaeology.The curse of the pharaohs, or the seductiveness of Cleopatra, seemed to threaten foreign dominance in the Middle East. Other visions of ancient Egypt inspired modernist movements in the arts, such as the Harlem Renaissance and Egyptian Pharaonism, fuelled by the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Today, ancient Egypt is ubiquitous in museums, television documentaries and tattoo parlours - wherever people look for a past as ancient and impressive as they come.

Detské doplňovačky 4 2023 egyptské
Egypt, tajomná krajina pri rieke Níl, je plná záhad a starobylých pamiatok. Každý si tu nájde niečo, čo sa mu páčii Aj náš kocúrik Markus. Jemu sa napríklad veľmi pozdáva to, že v Egypte by nebol len taký obyčajný kocúr, ako tu. V Egypte by z neho bola posvätná mačka a všetci by si ho vážili a uctievali by ho.

Out Of Egypt
'[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's. It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth.
Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words. There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt
Where are the tombs of Alexander the Great or Cleopatra? Both rulers were buried in Egypt, but their tombs have never been found despite years of intensive research and excavation. Yet we have tantalizing clues. Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt describes the quest for these and other great `missing' tombs - those we know existed, but which have not yet been identified.
It also discusses key moments of discovery that have yielded astonishing finds and created the archetypal image of the archaeologist poised at the threshold of a tomb left untouched for millennia. In this gripping account, Chris Naunton explains the mysteries of the missing tombs and presents all the evidence, skilfully unravelling the tangled threads surrounding the burials of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten and his son Tutankhamun, and the burial place of Imhotep, architect of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, among others. Could other such tombs lie undiscovered in the Valley of the Kings? In fact, the Valley almost certainly does guard hidden treasures.
Amazing finds of unsuspected tombs continue to occur there and elsewhere in Egypt, making headlines worldwide - all are covered in this book. As well as immersing the reader, step by step, in the action of the search and the thrill of discovery, the book also explores the reasons why tombs remain such a central part of both the popular perception of Egyptology and the continuing allure of ancient Egypt.

A River in Egypt - Faber Stories
In his masterful story 'A River in Egypt', David Means paints a portrait of a moment. Cavanaugh and his young son are suspended; trapped in what a nurse calls 'the sweat chamber', where the boy will be tested for cystic fibrosis.
Cavanaugh has brought distractions - spasmodic action figures, malformed toy trucks - but they do little to alter the frustration of the sick child screaming, or to alleviate the anxiety of the time spent waiting for 'some exactitude in the form of a diagnosis'.

Bohovia a králi starého Egypta, 4. vydanie
Nové prepracované vydanie prináša informácie o svete nereálnom, mytologickom, i reálnom, historickom, v období starovekého Egypta.
Stačí knihu vziať do rúk a nájdete v nej všetko o zašlom svete kedysi mocného a prekvitajúceho Egypta stojaceho na vrchole vtedajšej civilizácie.
Kniha Bohovia a králi starého Egypta vznikla na podnet čitateľov, ktorí mali záujem o „slovník na čítanie“, kde by sa dalo rýchlo a spoľahlivo nájsť „kto bol kto“ v starom Egypte, kedy tam vládol ten či onen panovník a čím sa zapísal do dejín, akú mal funkciu ten či onen boh, koho predstavuje tá či oná postava na daktorom z nespočetných reliéfov alebo na bezchybne zachovanej žiarivej maľbe, kedy bola objavená tá či oná pamiatka a v neposlednom rade aj to, ako sa má písať to či ono egyptské meno. Starý Egypt je pre nás na rozdiel od antického Grécka a Ríma už mŕtvy a jeho kultúru a civilizáciu nepociťujeme ako súčasť živého dedičstva. Napriek tomu fascinuje ďalších a ďalších záujemcov veľkolepou a tajomnou krásou zachovalých historických pamiatok, monumentalitou svojich stavieb i zložitosťou osudov svojich bohov i panovníkov.

24 hodín v starovekom Egypte
Jeden deň v živote ľudí, ktorí tam žili.
Staroveký Egypt – to neboli len pyramídy, sfingy a zlaté sarkofágy. Priemerný Egypťan mal ťažký život a tvrdo pracoval pod spaľujúcim pohľadom boha slnka Rea.
Aby sme si však vedeli dokonale predstaviť, ako Egypťania žili, renomovaný historik Donald P. Ryan rozdelil deň na 24 hodín a na príbehoch 24 Egypťanov s rôznymi zamestnaniami veľmi pútavo a verne približuje ich každodenné činnosti, radosti, uvažovanie a snahu o prežitie.
Medzi nimi nájdeme ľudí najrôznejších vrstiev – faraóna, balzamovača, pekára, rybára, vojaka či pôrodnú babicu – a počas jedného dňa v starovekom meste Téby (dnešný Luxor), náboženskom centre Egypta, s nimi prežijeme ich typický bežný deň.
