{"product_id":"eothen-or-traces-of-travel-alexander-william-kinglake-9781910346082","title":"Eothen, or Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East","description":"Eothen (\"From the East\") recaptures a bold young Englishman's exploits in the Middle East during the 1830s. Alexander William Kinglake recounts his rambles through the Balkans, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt in a style radically different from other travel books of his era. Rather than dwelling on art or monuments, Kinglake's captivating narrative focuses on the natives and their cities. His adventures ― populated by Bedouins, pashas, slave-traders, monks, pilgrims, and other colorfully drawn personalities ― include crossing the desolate Sinai with a four-camel caravan and a sojourn in plague-ridden Cairo. Victorian readers were captivated by Kinglake's chatty tone and his uncompromising honesty, and two centuries later this remarkable travelogue remains funny, fresh, and original. Presented here in a modern, up-to-date font, with an informative introduction by Simon C Drew. \"My favorite travel book. Sparkling, ironic, and terrific fun.\" -- Jan Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander William Kinglake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 191034608X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910346082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hand Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.66d","brand":"Alexander William Kinglake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897123397887,"sku":"9781910346082","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bba635c-ff1e-4763-966a-fe18cd86556f.jpg?v=1721373214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eothen-or-traces-of-travel-alexander-william-kinglake-9781910346082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
