Every Traveller Needs a Compass : Travel and Collecting in Egypt and the Near East


Description

A varied and charming collection of 17 papers that bring something new about the people from many countries and backgrounds who travelled to, from and within Egypt and the Near East, either singly or as a group, and explored, observed and recorded, or stayed for a short period of time to improve their health or simply to enjoy the experience. While some travellers kept a diary or journal that has survived until today, others did not. Their travels have to be extracted from the wide range of manuscript sources that are thankfully retained in libraries and archives, or which still remain with their descendants. Sometimes, the name of a traveller is only contained in a few words within a single piece of correspondence or journal entry, yet from such small beginnings and through detective work to link the chance meetings between travellers with a location, or news of a shared event, it is often possible to chart part of a traveller's journey and bring to life a person who has long been forgotten. These minor characters and their travails often bring a new perspective to well-known places and events.

Written by eleven contributors of international standing, this book Every Traveller Needs a Compass : Travel and Collecting in Egypt and the Near East download epub offers a readable and authoritative account of Europe's turbulent history from the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century to the present day.
