A Thousand Miles Up the Nile (Traveller's) Paperback - 1982

by Amelia B. Edwards


From the publisher

Amelia Edwards was born in London in 1831, the daughter of an army officer. This book describes a 1000 mile journey up the Nile she undertook in 1873. Although the trip was initially undertaken to escape the rain in Europe, Edwards was no vacuous tourist; her lively account of Ancient Egypt's great antiquities made this book a bestseller of its day.

Description:
London: Century Publishing, 1982. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. When a trip into the middle of Africa is still something of an adventure, it is astonishing to think that over a century ago a lady of solid Victorian upbringing decided ... to embark on an extraordinary journey 1,000 miles up the Nile -- in a wooden dahabeeyah. Amelia Edwards embarked on this voyage full of unrestrained enthusiasm for Egypt and a compulsive interest in all its archaeological treasures. The Egypt she saw was little changed since Pharonic times; the people living lives regulated by the seasons, unaltered for thousands of years, the pyramids and temples unrestored and for the most part unexplored. She describes in graphic detail the splendours of the Great Pyramid, the wonder at Karnak and the Valley of the Kings at Thebes .... Her account of this voyage is written with an artist's eye for local colour and is crammed with lively anecdotes ...." First Published in 1877.… Read More
