Omar Taher's satirical albums

Author's name: Omar Tahir

Over 450 pages of laughter and fun, including "It Looks Like It's Broken," "Captain Egypt," "Ibn Abdel Hamid the Tailor," "Raseef Misr," and "Zamalek Fanatic." Taher presents 100 Egyptian ways to overcome depression, the 55 most common phrases Egyptian parents say, and the 100 most common lies men tell Egyptian women. He also recounts his experience as a retired goalkeeper, offers his testimony on the 1980s generation, and answers questions like: How do you know a film's screenwriter is Egyptian? Why do Egyptians hate their jobs and their children hate studying? Why does an Egyptian father say "Inshallah," he actually mean "Inshallah not"? How do you know you're walking down a Cairo street? Reading an Egyptian newspaper? Watching a film produced after Sadat's assassination? Why doesn't the law protect "idiots"? Why does the government place pictures of mosques on banknotes? How do you know the person standing in front of you is a Zamalek fan? And many other clever and entertaining ideas crafted by Taher in a way that has become a trademark. This new edition is a revised version of these five long-standing bestsellers, with a behind-the-scenes introduction.
