This is the 10-year anniversary edition of In the Shadow of the Pyramids. An absolutely beautiful re issue that stays true to size and material but, reflecting the transformation and the passing of time, the design in the inside pages is radically different. This book tells the story of the deep socio political changes between 2005 and 2014 in Eypt. It documents the revolution and its emotional toll and impact on people’s lives. The protests that took part against President Mubarak and the events that unfolded around. Accordingly, this is a powerful story accompanied by imagery of historical importance. In a way, El-Tantawy images exist to ensure this story remains alive, to conserve the memory of those undergoing life altering events like those portrayed in this book and ultimately, to remind us the importance of unity and compassion.
