Profusely illustrated. *** "The scandalous rape of Ancient Egypt is a historical vignette of greed, vanity, and dedicated archaeological research. It is a tale vividly told by renowned archaeology author, Brian Fagan, with characters that include the ancient historian Herodotus; Theban tomb robbers; obelisk-stealing Romans; Coptic Christians determined to erase the heretical past; mummy traders; leisured antiquarians; major European museums; Giovanni Belzoni, a circus strongman who removed more antiquities than Napoleon's armies; shrewd consuls and ruthless pashas; and archaeologists such Sir Flinders Petrie who changed the course of Egyptology.This is the first thoroughly revised edition of The Rape of the Nile - Fagan's classic account of the cavalcade of archaeologists, thieves, and sightseers who have flocked to the Nile Valley since ancient times. Featured in this edition are new accounts of stunning recent discoveries, including the Royal Tombs of Tanis, the Valley of Golden Mummies at Bahariya, the Tomb of the Sons of Ramses, and the sunken city of Alexandria (whose lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). Fagan concludes with a clear-eyed assessment of the impact of modern mass tourism on archaeological sites and artifacts." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Moyer Bell, Wakefield, RI. 1997. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Signed by the author on the title page.

Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. Red endpapers. 229 pp 4to. The author puts her spin on these turn-of-the century boss ladies, a formidable type of CEO exploiting the only area of business that was open to them at the time - the sex trade. The text is a delightful introduction to these unique female executives - the houses they ran, the girls they employed, the jobs they attracted and the many-splendored talents that won them wealth and stardom in their day. This book explores the paths leading up to their un-homelike houses - mostly mansions of unalloyed gaudery and glitz. It looks in on their adventures with customers, press, politicians, "do-gooders" and police. Best of all, it serves up a brand new repertoire of recipes for food with a passion - recipes for today inspired by delicious indulgences of the past. All are handily in sync with current tastes, trends, and technology. Some of the menus and recipes in The Bordello Cookbook replicate what was served in those luxurious houses, where twenty-four hour gourmet kitchens were another major attraction. Most are Jeanne Bauer originals, inspired by the flash and flair of the madams and their show-off chefs. Some are simple, nostalgic dishes from places that were more exuberant than elegant. Others are festive offerings created for life's milestone holidays, birthdays, weddings, even funerals. After all, the ladies of the evening were touched by the milestones, too. A clean very presentable copy. Signed by Author(s).…
