About “Pharos and Pharillon”
Set in Alexandria, Egypt, a trading hub and cosmopolitan crossroads, this is where E.M. Forster fell in love with a young Egyptian man, Mohammed el Adl, during World War I. This collection of essays, dedicated to that man, opens with Pharos, seven stories on the ancient city, and closes with Pharillon and Forster's introduction of poet C. P. Cavafy.
