Book Description
In the sun-drenched island of Crete, an English writer’s hospital stay takes an unexpected turn. A mysterious roommate, their conversations a captivating blend of art, archaeology, reincarnation, and the rigid structures of the English class system, vanishes without a trace. Or so it seems. Upon returning home, the writer uncovers a journal and a worn tarot deck tucked away in his luggage: undeniable proof of his enigmatic encounter. Penned in 1823 by a Paduan named Giovanni Battista Belzoni, the journal reveals a fascinating life. A strongman who captivated British music hall crowds as ‘The Patagonian Samson,’ Belzoni also made his mark as a daring procurer of Egyptian artifacts for the British Museum. But within the journal’s pages lies a chilling account – a terrifying confrontation with Satan himself within the depths of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

Edge of Empire
Author: Maya Jasanoff
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307425711
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible—and topical—today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.
