Memory of Egypt Highlights Significant Events and Influential Figures in a New Issue
Posted on
Memory of Egypt magazine has devoted its 51st issue to highlighting significant events and creative figures in Egypt's modern history. In its editorial, Dr. Ahmed Zayed, Director of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and supervisor of the magazine, discussed the career of the late Dr. Mohamed Enani, the pioneer of translation. The issue also included an article by Professor Ahmed Youssef on the officer Pierre-François Bouchard, the unknown soldier in the story of the Rosetta Stone, and a special article (accompanied by rare photos) written by Dr. Emad Abu Ghazi on the contribution of the artist Raaya Helmy.
In his article, Dr. Mohamed Ramadan Al-Arja shed light on Taha Hussein's early lectures at the Egyptian University, and the writer Saeed Al-Shahat examined the important role played by Salim Hassan, and the challenges he faced. Additionally, the researcher Ahmed Hassan tackled the job profile of Nabawiyya Musa, as the critic Ikhlas Atallah and the writer Zeinab Abdel Razzaq addressed the works of Youssef Gohar and the works of Ahmed Shafiq Kamel respectively.
Also featured in this issue are researcher Mamdouh Mabrouk’s piece on the contributions of Abu Nazara magazine in the world of caricature, writer Mohamed Diab’s take on the Egyptian song’s celebration of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, and one of the last articles written by the late intellectual Saad Abdel Rahman tackling the cinema in Assiut. Moreover, the issue comprised an article on the centenary of the Egyptian Women's Union by researcher Lucy Awad, and another by Dr. Shaimaa Al-Sharif on the trilogy of Egypt by writer Robert Solé.
A quarterly publication, Memory of Egypt magazine celebrated its fiftieth issue late last year, which was devoted entirely to the rich collections of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
Memory of Egypt is published under the editorship of Dr. Sameh Fawzy, and distributed by Akhbar El Yom Foundation, by virtue of an agreement with the BA.
