My Winter on the Nile (Gorgias Historic Travels in the Cradle of Civilization)

From the eyes of a novelist, Warner illustrates the drama and romance of a voyage through Egypt. Particularly attracted to the Muslim life and practice in Egypt, and the monuments of the ancient empires, Warner takes the reader through the length of the country into Ethiopia and tropical Africa. A travelogue that captures the nineteenth century fascination with the East, this volume will delight anyone interested in days of the blossoming interest in Egypt.
