Summary: "Pharos and Pharillon" by E. M. Forster is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the historical and cultural significance of Alexandria, focusing on the legendary lighthouse Pharos and the events surrounding it.

The opening of the book provides a rich introduction to the setting of Alexandria, recounting the geographical evolution of the site where the Pharos lighthouse once stood. It begins with a historical description of the island of Pharos and transitions into significant events from its past, including Menelaus’s misadventures and the presence of diverse communities such as Greeks, Jews, and later Arabs. As the narrative unfolds, it establishes a connection between the past and the modern day, hinting at personal reflections and philosophical musings that set the tone for the rest of the book. The scene is set for an exploration of how the remnants of history, culture, and identity continue to shape contemporary lives in this storied city. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
