Description:
Fascinated by Egypt's rich history, Peter Hessler moved with his family to Cairo just after the Arab Spring had begun.

In the midst of the revolution, he attached himself to an important archaeological dig at a site known as The Buried. In Cairo, he got to know a young gay Egyptian who struggled with pressures from the police and society. Hessler and his wife also struck up a friendship with their Arabic-language instructor, Rifaat, a cynical political sophisticate who helped explain the country's turmoil. And a different kind of friendship was formed with their illiterate garbage collector, Sayyid, whose access to the refuse of Cairo is another kind of archaeological excavation.

Through the lives of ordinary Egyptians, Hessler creates a richly textured portrait of a revolution and the people swept up in it, drawing connections between contemporary politics and the ancient past. The Buried is a work of uncompromising intelligence and glorious humanity- an extraordinary achievement that unearths a new world for the reader.

The Best Tote Bag EVER
Color: Khaki, Size: Small
It's perfect for work and everyday use! It's durable and lightweight. It's expandable at the bottom and the zippers work well. I bought it in size small in the light khaki color... Perfect for spring! It's very organized with pockets on the inside and a place for your iPad. I highly recommend it! I'm going to buy it as a gift for my daughters. It looks like the expensive bags, but at $25 it's a steal! I may get one in another color for the fall.

Best diaper/traveling bag!!
Color: Desert, Size: Large
Absolutely LOVE this bag!! The fabric of the bag was better than I even expected. It’s super soft, comfortable, easy to wipe down, has plenty of storage, sturdy even without stuffing it full, and is the perfect bag! It feels nice and thick without it being heavy. The zipper is also very durable and isn’t cheap feeling compared to other brands. I will definitely be ordering more in the future even to use for just traveling. I switched from a book bag diaper bag style to this bag and I feel like it holds even more! Plus, I love that you can expand this bag!! You won’t regret buying this one!!

My new travel bag!
Color: Chocolate, Size: Large
I love this bag. It will be my new travel bag, replacing my back pack. It has lots of pockets and looks fashionable. I love that it’s expandable. It will be helpful for those trips where I seems to bring back more than I originally packed. 🤭. The shoulder straps are long enough to give you adequate space to carry on your shoulder. I also live that it has a strap to put on that handle of your luggage. The size is perfect for fitting under the seat in front of you when flying. If it holds up during my next trip I will definitely return to purchase other colors. Great bag for the price!
