Описание:
A colorfully illustrated celebration of the classic era of cruising on the Nile, new in paperback
Since Antony and Cleopatra honeymooned on the Nile on a gilded barge, visitors to Egypt have taken to the river as the best way to experience the country's wonders. Early travelers took a dahabiya, an elegant triangular-sailed houseboat, and leisurely meandered from riverside site to site, for three months or more. Then from the late nineteenth century, Thomas Cook of Leicester, England, revolutionized the journey with a fleet of specially built paddle steamers. For the next sixty years these 'floating palaces, ' with their private cabins, and dining, smoking, and viewing salons, red-uniformed dragoman guides, and organized donkey excursions, carried the aristocratic, moneyed, and adventurous of international society of the time. Using period photography, and colorful vintage posters and advertising material, this book tells the story of the people, the places, and the boats, from pioneering Nile travelers like Amelia Edwards and Lucie Duff Gordon, through to famed later passengers, such as Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, and, of course, Agatha Christie, whose staging of a death on the Nile only added to the allure.

Описание: “This is the most important of my books, and the one by which I most hope to be remembered – if I may hope to be remembered at all!” Amelia B Edwards, 1877.A chance visit to Egypt in 1873 by Amelia Edwards changed the future of British Egyptology forever. Her travelogue, A Thousand Miles up the Nile, would inspire generations to take up her cause to support and promote Egyptian cultural heritage.This modern reprint is accompanied by a new introduction by Carl Graves (the Egypt Exploration Society) and Anna Garnett (The Petrie Museum, UCL) reflecting on Amelia’s life and its legacy in Egyptology today. The original text is complimented by colour images of Amelia’s artwork made during or shortly after her travels, which have only previously been reproduced as black and white engravings. This is no ordinary reprint, but an essential companion to the best-seller.
Описание: Located some one hundred kilometers southwest of Cairo, the Fayum region has long been regarded as unique, often described in terms that conjure up images of an idealized Garden of Eden. In The Fayum Landscape Claire Malleson takes a novel approach to the study of the region by exploring the ways in which people have, through millennia, perceived and engaged with the Fayum landscape.Distinguishing between the experienced landscape of state and bureaucratic record and the imagined landscape of myth, meaning, and observers’ personal influences and expectations, Malleson questions in detail where those perceptions come from. She traces religious practices, follows the tracks of myths and traditions, and investigates the roots of stories found in texts from the pharaonic, classical, and Medieval Islamic periods. She also reviews many, more recent travel writings on the region from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. The work of each author is presented in its historical and cultural context, and Malleson integrates what is known about ancient activities in the Fayum, based on the archaeological evidence from the many monuments and ancient settlements that exist in the region. Scholars and students of archaeology and landscape studies as well as general readers interested in Egypt’s history and archaeology will find this book highly engaging and enlightening.

Описание: Der Erste Nil-Katarakt stellt in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Ungewohnlich reiche Landschaft fur die Untersuchung der verschiedensten Epochen und Kulturen dar. Vor dem Hintergrund verbindender wie trennender naturraumlicher Faktoren vollzieht sich der kulturelle Wandel und kann uber einen Zeitraum von mehr als 5000 Jahre verfolgt werden. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes beleuchten dies von den unterschiedlichsten Blickwinkeln und den Methoden verschiedener Disziplinen. Beginnend mit den jungsten Ergebnissen zur Zuzugsgeschichte des Niltals werden soziologische Ansatze, archaologische Berichte aus aktuellen Ausgrabungen und philologische Einzelstudien zu Personengruppen und Zeitepochen bis in das 15. Jh. hinein ausgefuhrt. Die Beitrage geben so einen Eindruck von den Moglichkeiten, die diese Region fur eine moderne, epochenubergreifende Kulturgeschichte bietet. Sie gehen auf ein Internationales Symposium im September 2007 in Berlin zuruck und wurden fur die vorliegende Veroffentlichung aktualisiert.
