L'Égypte ancienne est « un jour de bonheur que les dieux ont offert aux hommes », écrivait Paul Morand. Il est plus que jamais temps de (re)découvrir ce jour, alors que nous commémorons le bicentenaire du déchiffrement des hiéroglyphes et le centenaire de la découverte du tombeau de Toutânkhamon. Malgré l'avancée des connaissances, cette grande civilisation continue de charrier des théories pseudo-scientifiques ou ésotériques. Ce livre démonte une à une les affirmations infondées et éclaire les aspects les moins connus de cette glorieuse civilisation. L'Égypte fut-elle le premier État centralisé ? La chimie y est-elle née ? Sait-on prononcer cette langue connue d'abord par ses hiéroglyphes ? La « sortie d'Égypte » a-t-elle réellement eu lieu ? Les Égyptiens buvaient-ils de la bière ? Étaient-ils noirs de peau ? Les femmes bénéficiaient-elles du régime moderne de la séparation des biens ? C'est à toutes ces questions, parmi beaucoup d'autres, que répond point par point cet état des lieux de l'Égypte des pharaons, fondé sur les connaissances des égyptologues et archéologues.

Azmi Bishara's seminal study of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution chronicles in granular detail the lead up to the momentous uprisings and the subsequent transition and coup. The book critically investigates the social and economic conditions that formed the backdrop to the revolution and the complex challenges posed by the transition from authoritarianism to democracy.Part One, 'From July Coup to January Revolution', goes back to what is called the '1952 revolution' or the '1952 Coup d'état' and traces events until 2011 when Hosni Mubarak stepped down as the president of Egypt after weeks of protest. It highlights the relationship between the presidency and the army to show that, contrary to popular belief, the presidency grew gradually stronger at the expense of other institutions, especially the army, and reached its apogee under Mubarak. Part Two 'From Revolution to Coup d'Etat', covers the critical stages from when the military junta took over the governing of Egypt as the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), and the election of Morsi, up until the coup to overthrow his presidency. Using a democratic transition theory perspective, Azmi Bishara explains the failure of the democratic transition and how it has impacted on Arab revolutions ever since. Written while the revolutions were taking place, this book conveys a sense of immediacy and urgency as Bishara makes wide-ranging assessments with many of his forecasts corroborated in later years. The book is renowned for its use of primary source material - including interviews, statistics and public opinion polls – thus preserving the memory of the revolution and remaining one of the most comprehensive reference books on the subject to date
