Book excerpt: The place, Cairo, Egypt. The time, a few years before the Arab Spring. When a man discovers his wife is having an affair, self-restraint and reason fly out of the window. Humiliation rests on his shoulders like a burden too heavy to bear. And the onus of doing something about it lies squarely on him. The universe will not let him rest or have his peace until he acts to set the balance straight. Even if he wanted to look the other way and take one for the team, he would still wind up facing his demons with no option but to react. To do something. Anything. Even the unthinkable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Egyptians were people of flesh and blood, capable of both greatness and weakness, masters of ambitious projects but also slaves to banal preoccupations. They imposed their vision of the world on their environment, but they were weighed down by the burden of the human condition. In short, they were like any of us. And like ours, their society had its affairs, its scandals, its uncertainties, and its rifts."--from the Preface Drawing on ancient texts, archaeological reports, and other sources, Pascal Vernus focuses attention on the human failings of the too-often-mythologized Egyptians. Affairs and Scandals in Ancient Egypt treats instances of significant corruption--which, according to Vernus, constitute a crisis of values--in New Kingdom Egypt. His discoveries afford sobering new insights into the tension between stated beliefs and actual behavior in ancient Egyptian civilization. The examples of corruption Vernus describes run the gamut from graverobbing to labor unrest, from embezzlement to palace intrigue. The first chapter deals with the tomb robberies in the Theban necropolis during the Twentieth Dynasty. The second outlines the economic context and events associated with strikes carried out by the workmen of the royal necropolis. The third chapter uses a certain Paneb as an exemplar of corruption in the area of Thebes. Chapter 4 considers the theft of government property and attempted cover-ups in the Aswan region. The last example may be the most dramatic--the conspiracy in the royal women's quarters in the last year of Ramesses III aimed at affecting the succession to the throne. In the book's final chapter, Vernus analyzes the historical contexts and the main issues surrounding each scandal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient Roman general. A modern-day antique dealer. One salacious bargain. Antique dealer Lucy Brady is enamored with the past and spends her days surrounded by vintage goodies and historic baubles. But she never imagined she’d be staring down a living, breathing ancient Roman from her sofa. After inheriting a mysterious locket which comes with an ominous warning, she ignores age old superstition and inadvertently summons a dark and scarred warrior from the 4thcentury. When he demands freedom from her tyrannous bloodline, Lucy is certain she’s being pranked, and agrees—with one shocking condition—he becomes her sex slave for two whole weeks. “Although I cannot bring the dead to the living, I can bring the living to the dead.” Entrapped for seventeen hundred years, General Hadrian Marias longs for freedom and the chance to reunite with the reincarnated soul of his long-lost wife. But what he discovers upon being released into the modern world is Lucy—the lavender eyed descendant of the very Celtic witch who’d cursed him centuries before. He should hate her, but something about Lucy soothes his angry soul. So when she offers him the deal of many lifetimes, he can’t refuse. Hadrian and Lucy’s fierce attraction—and growing bond—puts them at risk of heartache as eras collide and an ancient curse comes to fruition… If you’re a fan of time travel, magic, cursed lovers, ancient heroes, and steamy romance, you’ll love To Wish Upon a Roman, the first book in the To Wish Upon an Ancient series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Winner of the 2023 Arab American Book Award for Fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize Shortlisted for the 2023 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Shortlisted for the 2022 VCU Cabell First Novelist Award Winner of the Graywolf Press African Fiction Prize, a lush experimental novel about love as a weapon of empire. In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, an Egyptian American woman and a man from the village of Shobrakheit meet at a café in Cairo. He was a photographer of the revolution, but now finds himself unemployed and addicted to cocaine, living in a rooftop shack. She is a nostalgic daughter of immigrants “returning” to a country she’s never been to before, teaching English and living in a light-filled flat with balconies on all sides. They fall in love and he moves in. But soon their desire—for one another, for the selves they want to become through the other—takes a violent turn that neither of them expected. A dark romance exposing the gaps in American identity politics, especially when exported overseas, If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is at once ravishing and wry, scathing and tender. Told in alternating perspectives, Noor Naga’s experimental debut examines the ethics of fetishizing the homeland and punishing the beloved . . . and vice versa. In our globalized twenty-first-century world, what are the new faces (and races) of empire? When the revolution fails, how long can someone survive the disappointment? Who suffers and, more crucially, who gets to tell about it?
