My Winter on the Nile
Author: Charles Dudley Warner
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
"My Winter on the Nile," and its sequel, "In the Levant," which record the experiences and observations of an Oriental journey, were both published in 1876; but as this volume was issued only by subscription, it has never reached the large public which is served by the general book trade. It is now republished and placed within the reach of those who have read "In the Levant." Advantage has been taken of its reissue to give it a careful revision, which, however, has not essentially changed it. Since it was written the Khedive of so many ambitious projects has given way to his son, Tufik Pasha; but I have let stand what was written of Ismail Pasha for whatever historical value it may possess. In other respects, what was written of the country and the mass of the people in 1876 is true now. The interest of Americans in the land of the oldest civilization has greatly increased within the past few years, and literature relating to the Orient is in more demand than at any previous time. The brief and incidental allusion in the first chapter to the peculiarity in the construction of the oldest temple at Pæstum-a peculiarity here for the first time, so far as I can find, described in print-is worthy the attention of archaeologists. The use of curved lines in this so-called Temple of Neptune is more marked than in the Parthenon, and is the secret of its fascination. The relation of this secret to the irregularities of such mediaeval buildings as the Duomo at Pisa is obvious.
