Egypt and Austria IV: Crossroads, Agypten und Osterreich IV - Begegnungen

This is the fourth volume of proceedings of the workgroup Egypt and Austria, which has recently developed into Egypt and Central Europe. The volume includes contributions on Austrian migrations to Egypt and vice versa, on the political as well as economic relations within the Eastern Mediterranean during the 19th century and there is also a special section devoted to the intercultural (mis-)representations in arts. Two articles remind us of the activities and literary work of Alois Musil, the antipode of Lawrence of Arabia. Contributions are mainly in English, some in German.
