Thea: To Alexandria, Jerusalem and Freedom - is a moving and exciting story of life in Egypt during the tumultuous thirties and forties. The kaleidoscope of human events described, over sixty years of our century, gives the reader a sense of having lived and witnessed important moments of history. It is a book which makes a strong protest against the war. But most of all it is the story of ordinary people performing extraordinary feats of love for their fellowmen.
