A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Thackeray, an only child, was born in Calcutta. He studied at Cambridge, but, never a keen student, he left the University in 1830 to travel the continent. He began to study law but gave it up and squandered much of his inheritance on gambling and poor investments. He studied art in Paris, but he did not pursue that professionally either, except to illustrate his own novels.He was a successful novelist, earning the adulation of the very people he satirized. His death at 53 was unexpected.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Written under the pseudonym Titmarsh, Thackeray's Notes on a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo was published in 1846. Appreciating the vessel, the captain, and the crew, Thackeray recounts his brilliant trip and the majestic areas that he visited. Malta, Athens, Smyrna, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, as well as the sea shores of Spain and France are all described, as are the troublesome experiences and the sea-sickness felt by some of his fellow passengers.
