papaburi's Reviews > Architecture for the Poor: An Experiment in Rural Egypt

such a lovely book, reading this work of fathy felt like reading his personal diaries, fathy writes with the honesty of simone weil or montaigne, his prose is lucid and thoroughly enjoyable, a book i learned immensely from, both in terms of aesthetics as much as in terms of what the french moralists wrote about. truly an unique work, i will spent more time documenting his life.
