Synopsis

This book, written by a then anonymous author, recounts their experiences volunteering in Egypt for a foreign office shortly after the author mysteriously leaves their business partnership in London. Tracing their journey from their initial interview with the head of the agency to their voyage through the Mediterranean, the author takes the reader on a journey through their career change, a trip aboard the famed Mines, and their observations of life in Greece and Italy. Along the way, the author gives us glimpses into the local culture and people, as well as their own personal experiences and reflections, framing their journey through the context of the broader history of both their home and their host country. Blending travelogue and memoir with historical and cultural context, this book invites readers to consider the dramatic changes brought by new careers, foreign lands, and cultural exchange.
