TangoOfElephants Tango Al Afial (Tango of Elephants) By Wael Abdel Fattah Tango Al Afial initially appeared to be a project to recycle laziness and the lazy, but Abdel Fattah went to a broader world enjoying the lazy company, comfortable in a rhythm outside the usual, where he plays with the press. And as he steps with the elephants into his fiftieth year, laziness is still a sensory link with writing and time. EgyptAndTheCrossroads Masr wa Moftarak Al Torok (Egypt and the Crossroads) By Dr. Abdel Hafez Al Kurdi Here is a compilation of articles and investigations Al Ahram published the outlines of over the past three years. They shed light on the Egyptian situation in those defining years with scientific analysis and comprehensive vision in a calm, sober manner and indispensable historical documentation to put things in perspective, which is what the author did with the honesty of a skilled, impartial researcher.   Al Kotob Khan: Website | Facebook
