Synopsis

This book narrates the adventures of the author, a Victorian-era clergyman's wife, and her family as they embark on a voyage to the Holy Land. The narrative provides unique insights into the historical, social, and religious complexities of the Middle East, making it an invaluable historical document for travel enthusiasts and historians. As Christians, their motivations were partly religious but also stem from a fascination with the classical world and adventure. The author's sharp, witty, and evocative observations detail their journey from Cairo to the Holy Land and include stops at famous historical sites like the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Suez Canal. Their experiences highlight the cultural contrasts between Victorian England and the mysterious East, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era, and shedding light on the turbulent socio-political dynamics between East and West.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

East and especially to those Oriental lands consecrated by their connection with Biblical history has for long been a dream which both my wife and I earnestly desued should one day become a reality. During the spring of this year we were able to carry out these long cherished wishes, and, with our daugliter and a few friends, to visit localities famihar to us all by name from our earliest childhood, and rendered dear by their association with the Sacred Story of our Lord s Life on earth. My wife has endeavoured in the following pages, by enlarging her journal written at the time, to convey to others an idea of the scenes which gave us such intense pleasure.
