- Synopsis
- When Gruber arrives in Egypt to study the Coptic monasteries, he finds that he has sent his money to Egypt's national bank--a bank with many branches and no connectedness. Since he is almost broke, he immediately begins to live the life of an Egyptian, where building a castle in the sand can cause trouble, and knowing when to act as anthropologist versus Catholic priest is confounding. Gruber weaves religious history, politics, personal prayers, (which are beautiful) and descriptions of monastery life into a captivating journal. This is a lively book which is informative, interesting, and inspirational.
