Controversial novel set in Egypt- sex, death, corruption all entiwine in the Yacoubian Building in which the characters live.
Alexandria Lost is a collection of three stories by Alan Smart. Each story contains a sense of loss - not the loss that breeds nostalgia, but, rather the feeling that all human things will pass, while the city of Alexandria remains.
A survivor of the Second World War has lost the will to live until confronted by the bomb-shattered hand of a young Bedouin girl. An exile lying in an English hospital bed contemplates the city he longs to reject. A chance remark sends an old woman out into the streets of her hometown on an uncertain quest.
