Title : This country that resembles you - Tobie Nathan - book

• Summary

It is in the Jewish ghetto of Cairo that Zohar the rebellious is born, against all odds, to a flamboyant young mother and a blind father. And now his foster sister, Masreya, born from the mire of the Delta, a dancer with the wiles of an enchantress, leads him to the gates of power. Here also are the beggars and the proud, the rogues and the gossips of the alley, the poor and the wealthy, the little people who go about rolling, shouting, rebelling, hoping and suffering.

This saga, in the colors of the ancient sun, tells everything about Egypt: the rise and fall of King Farouk, the last pharaoh, a despot with the appearance of a charming prince, adored by his people and paralyzed by neuroses. Gamal Abdel Nasser's rise to power in 1952 and the expulsion of the Jews. The Islamization of Egypt under the pressure of the Muslim Brotherhood, the first eruption of a volcano that never stops roaring... It is the fall of the ancient world, which wrapped magic and spells in the clothes of Hollywood. The birth of a modern world, caught between gods and devils.
