Eothen: Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East
ISBN: 9780810160354 / Angielski / Miękka / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the autumn of 1834, Alexander Kinglake and John Savile set out together for Turkey and the Levant. When Savile was summoned home Kinglake, accompanied only by his guide and interpreter, went on by ship to Cyprus and Beirut, then to the Holy Land, Cairo, and Damascus. On his own in a foreign world, Kinglake used the solitary travel for prolonged self-scrutiny, and ultimately for liberation.
"Eothen" has the freshness of the immediate and the new. Kinglake kept it free of the details of geography, history, science, politics, religion, and statistics; it is far less about the countries...

The Old Arabia and the New Arabia: An American Engineer in Saudi Arabia 1954 and Again in 1982
ISBN: 9781418492458 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Various unique facts and oddities observed by the author during his employment in Saudi Arabia by Aramco (Arabian American Oil Company) in 1954 are presented, and these are contrasted to changes observed later in 1982 when he returned as a contractor. All photographs were made by the author. The style of the author is similar to that of James Burke in his TV Series "Connections" in which various topics connect to other seemingly unrelated subjects. Thus, a chapter on The Holy Land and one on the origins of the New Testament are included. Many of the topics discussed in this book-customs,...

ISBN: 9780812971644 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1325, the great Arab traveler Ibn Battutah set out from his native Tangier in North Africa on pilgrimage to Mecca.

Captivated by Ibn Battutah's account of his journey, the Arabic scholar and award-winning travel writer Tim Mackintosh-Smith set out to follow in the peripatetic Moroccan's footsteps. Traversing Egyptian deserts and remote islands in the Arabian Sea, visiting castles...

Upon returning home from Beijing--"Being in Beijing: Buses, Bikes, and Beer"--Mike O'Neal accepts a teaching position in Sharjah, the most culturally traditional and conservative of the seven United Arab Emirates. He'd never heard of the place. And from that early morning mumbled phone interview that landed him the job, to his last day of teaching and living in the gulag housing, Mike faced the adversities of abject racism, witnessed ethnic abuse and blatant sexist attitudes, and dealt with students who possessed not only elitist mentalities, but were classic examples of extreme ADD and ADHD...
