L'Égypte éternelle
Résumé
"L'Égypte éternelle" by Jehan d'Ivray is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the rich history, culture, and societal structure of Egypt, particularly focusing on the transformations that took place during colonial times. It aims to unveil the complexities of Egyptian identity, the impact of foreign influence, and the nostalgic longing for its ancient civilization. The opening of this work sets the stage for a deep examination of Egypt's past in the context of modern travelers and tourists who seek to connect with its ancient roots. The text reflects on the changes that have taken place over the years, contrasting the romanticized vision of a mystical Egypt with the realities of modernization. D'Ivray discusses the present and historical significance of the land, touching upon the deep-seated cultural continuity among the Egyptian people while lamenting the gradual disappearance of its unique charm due to colonial and modern developments. Throughout this portion, we see a rich tapestry of Egyptian life-past and present-with allusions to its Pharaonic majesty intertwined with the realities faced by its contemporary inhabitants.
