Rivers - The Lifelines of Our Planet

Rivers, the lifeblood of our planet, weave their way through forests, meadows, and cities, nurturing life along their banks. From the mighty Amazon and Nile to the serene Danube and Ganges, rivers offer not only mesmerizing beauty but also play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems.

The Roaring Majesty of Waterfalls

A true spectacle of nature, waterfalls captivate with their raw power and beauty. Witnessing water cascade down from great heights creates a breathtaking display. From the grandeur of Niagara Falls to the serenity of Angel Falls, these natural wonders never fail to awe-inspire.

Get lost in the mist as you stand at the base of the majestic Victoria Falls or marvel at the colorful rainbow created by Iguazu Falls. Each waterfall possesses its own unique charm, inviting explorers to delve into their mystical presence.

Turbulent Oceans - Boundless and Enigmatic

Our planet is adorned by vast oceans, covering over 70% of the Earth's surface. These mighty bodies of water never cease to amaze, holding within them an abundance of mystery and undiscovered wonders. The expansive Atlantic Ocean, the fascinating Pacific Ocean, and the unexplored depths of the Indian Ocean beckon us to unveil their secrets.

Surrender to the beauty of coral reefs, teeming with vibrant marine life, or feel the sheer power of crashing waves against towering cliffs. Oceans stir our imagination, fueling our desire to explore what lies beyond the horizon.

These bodies of water have the power to transport us to magical worlds. Whether it is the tranquility of lakes, the vitality of rivers, the breathtaking cascade of waterfalls, or the enigmatic vastness of the oceans, they all hold a special place in our hearts and inspire curiosity in our souls.

So, fellow travelers, embrace the adventure that awaits as you embark on a journey to explore these bodies of water. Dive into their depths, traverse their currents, and let their beauty leave an indelible mark on your spirit.

'Sabrina Mahfouz is a tidal wave of truth swallowing the banks of empire with a torrent of information which will not be damned' Lemn Sissay

'A bold, brave look at the ways imperialism affects us all, from the universally political to the insightfully intimate' Riz Ahmed

'Impossible to put down while you're reading, and impossible to forget about when you've finished' Glamour

Are you not made of Suez silt?How do we know you won't shore our boats by making yourself bigger than we made you?

Sabrina Mahfouz once sat in a Whitehall interview room and was interrogated about everything from her political leanings to her private life. It was ostensibly a job interview, but implicit in their demands was the unspoken question: as a woman of Middle Eastern heritage, could she really be trusted?

Years later, Sabrina found herself confronting the meaning behind this interrogation, and how it was specifically informed by the British Empire's historical dominance in the Middle East. THESE BODIES OF WATER investigates this history through the Middle Eastern coastlines and waterways that were so vital to the Empire's hold. Interwoven with her own personal experiences, Sabrina combines history, politics, myth and poetry in a devastating examination of this unacknowledged part of Britain's colonial past.

Part history, part polemic and part intimate memoir, THESE BODIES OF WATER is a tapestry of writing that tells the story of Britain's relationship with the Middle East in the most revealing terms.
