This work, first published in 1847, is an account by Constantin von Tischendorf (1815 74) of his journeying in the Middle East at the beginning of the 1840s.

Ithaka, Der Peloponnes Und Troja: Archaologische Forschungen
ISBN: 9781108016827 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Where is Troy? For Heinrich Schliemann (1822 1890) the search for its exact location became a consuming passion. In 1869, when this book was first published, the existence of a real - as opposed to mythical - Troy was still disputed. The wealthy German businessman, linguist and speculator journeyed to Greece and Asia Minor in order to undertake excavations well before archaeology developed into a modern, scientific profession. This book describes his first expedition in 1868 to Corfu, Cephalonia, the Peloponnese and Ithaca. Schliemann was convinced that the mound of Hissarlik in Turkey was...

Eothen
ISBN: 9781607246640 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given the twenty-first century association between the Holy Land and the Bible, we may assume that such a relationship just exists, and that the land is like the Book and contains a timeless quality. Eothen requires us to question this supposition. Alexander Kinglake describes a Palestine which is largely a wilderness on the verge of being defined by the political and religious forces of the west. He offers us a glimpse into the past to a society and place as it began to engage with Europe, and with the West.

First published in 1889, Land of the Dragon provides a lively account of William Spencer Percival's daily life as a British civil servant working in Shanghai at the end of the nineteenth century.

Walter Medhust's 1872 book traces his personal impressions of nineteenth-century Chinese society.

He also...

Sleeman in Oudh: An Abridgement of W. H. Sleeman's a Journey Through the Kingdom of Oude in 1849-50

Subject to British interference from the mid-eighteenth century onwards, Oudh was finally annexed in 1856. The diary of W. H.

No more detailed, accurate or unbiased account exists of conditions in pre-annexation Oudh, and the diary is thus a significant document...
