Alexandria the City of Good and Evil Contrasts
Harold Lake writes in the London Daily Mall about Alexandria as a place of stark contrasts where beauty and filth, splendor and vileness, sacred and vile coexist. He recalls its ancient grandeur amid modern trams and Parisian façades, noting riots, beggars, and religious pluralism within its busy streets. The city’s dual spirit lingers as boats pass harbor sands and markets, catacombs, stock exchanges, and temples intertwine with present decay and past glory.
