Some rumpling to the top half of most pages. The front board is moderately bowed or concave. Else a very clean copy. Ribbon page marker. 179 numbered pages. 13 oz. weight.

From the NYT of 1889: "The true condition of the Egyptian fellah is not one of the things that those who run may read. The ordinary traveler sees that he works hard, that he wears scarcely any clothes, that his house has mud walls and little or no roof, and that he eats no meat." Philosophically (or so said Oswald Spengler), "fellaheen" refers to the great mass of people who adapt and survive from one civilization to the next without becoming part of any, thus remaining separate from the great movements of history.
