In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, growing numbers of tourists and scholars from Europe and America, fascinated by new discoveries, visited the Near East and Egypt - attracted by the riches and mysteries of the Land of the Bible. Almost all such visitors, no matter how esoteric or academic their pursuits, had to deal with the local authorities and the native workforce for their archaeological excavations. The vast majority of these visitors had to rely on interpreters, dragomans, translators and local guides.
This study, based on published and unpublished travel memoirs, guidebooks, personal papers and archaeological reports of the British and American archaeologists, deals with the socio-political status and multi-faceted role of interpreters at the time. Those bi- or multi-lingual individuals frequently took on (or were forced to take on) much more than just interpreting. They often played the role of go-betweens, servants, bodyguards, pimps, diplomats, spies, messengers, managers and overseers, and had to mediate, scheme and often improvise, whether in an official or unofficial capacity.
For the most part denied due credit and recognition, these interpreters are finally here given a new voice. An engrossing story emerges of how through their many and varied actions and roles, they had a crucial part to play in the introduction to Britain and America of these mysterious past cultures and civilizations.

A book on how to connect with your current destination - whether that's for one week or one year. It details my strategies on how I choose a location and where specifically I live while there.
The goal is to get acclimated quickly so you can enjoy your new destination as a local. To do this quickly, I:
tell you how to narrow down the entire world into the few places that are most likely to be a perfect fit for you and your lifestyle
provide a checklist of all tasks you can do per destination to feel like a local quick
show you how to find the specific (mirco)neighborhood within your destination (this is hugely important )
discuss how to optimally make friends and connect (and you don't have to be an extrovert).
pepper in tips throughout about airport travel, luggage basics, and what to bring
reveal how I find the most unique and hidden, locals-only activities (and many locals I end up showing around)
