Recensione:
L'autore:
Praise for Michael Pearce:
‘Pearce takes apart ancient history and reassembles it with beguiling wit and colour’ Sunday Times
‘Marvellously convoluted... Dryly and deeply funny’ Literary Review
‘The beguiling Mamur Zapt sleuths around turn-of-the-century Cairo with verve and panache’ Time Out
‘Impeccable historical details ... enjoyable reading’ Sunday Telegraph
Michael Pearce was raised in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, where his fascination for language began. He later trained as a Russian interpreter but moved away from languages to follow an academic career, first as a lecturer in English and the History of Ideas, and then as an administrator. Michael Pearce now lives in London and is best known as the author of the award-winning Mamur Zapt books.
