This is a sequence of my life as a woman. There are in the lives of women Seasons and Colors…. And also a permanency with children, with the birth of this son which gave my young life its whole centrality. Here is then the Egypt as I lived through Her in the years of 1990, through this journey which spontaneously led me to a space of which I had always dreamt as a child. While in Lyon where I was born, in this city and its austere, studious and cold Latinity, I would gaze, as a little girl, at anatomy plates that my father meticulously drew. They would soon conjure the symbolic significance of the organs which Isis desperately attempted to recreate a scattered Osiris. I could foresee then that Egypt would play an important part in the path of my life, and would feel a deep anchor, still not knowing future yet, to this civilization ardently leaning towards the afterlife.

Here also are a few figures, for the most part older persons, today having passed away, whom I met in Cairo, with enthusiasm, while I was a twenty years old and to whom I pay tribute in this book. Last bastions of a vanished Egypt, a Secret Egypt, one of a far away Orient which disappears alongside my own balanced and nomadic path.

SECRET EGYPT

Secret Egypt is a love story between a French woman and an Egyptian aristocrat, love for a man, love for a land, Egypt, love for a people, the Egyptians.

Birth of a son, Nazem Shah, to whom Estelle pays tribute in this book.

Estelle Arielle Bouchet, author and journalist offers an initiatory path in this Egypt where she lived and loved. She tells of a secret Egypt seen from the inside, in the manner of Lady Mary Montagu, exploring these mysterious and confined topoi, which refer us to a universe, both esthetically pleasing and profound. One of a civilization which pharaonic avatars remain still very significant.

Secret Egypt opens a timeless and impenetrable space, such as a rebellious citadel.

First book announcing the trilogy, Secret Provence and Secret Italy, dedicated to her youngest son Leonardo, from the young publishing company Mediterranée en Lumière setting its mission to foster exchanges between Peoples and Cultures of the Mediterranean.

It is the path of the heart opening doors of the knowledge and this journey to the heart of the oriental Femininity is also yours.
