Well it seems that Egypt has the same atmosphere today has some properties of cannabis, because intoxicated, intoxicates and makes the ineffable delight.
Travel Themes fascinated me for a long time, but I had no opportunity yet to read books of travel of up until two centuries ago, because until the nineteenth century. What is certainly surprising, is that images of life in the East. 1879-1893 came from the pen of a woman, while the woman was traveling rather a sensation. It should be noted, however, that probably would not Anna was the wife of the consul, those books might never come into existence.
Memories of Anne Neumanowej were divided into two parts: "At the gates of the East" and "Under the Greek sky." Notes from her trip to Africa, and an eight-year stay in Egypt are very comprehensive and provide a very rich material in the field of geography, history and ethnography, which is the fruit of an urgent study of the author. The record of trips have been woven into the history of ancient Egypt, information about the geography of the country and the culture of the Egyptians. Thanks to the author is a woman, we have the opportunity to get into harems, where the consuls were taken with sympathy. The records Neumanowej unraveling a huge curiosity about this country and its fascination, as opposed to the feelings in relation to Romania, which, according to the author is dirty and the people are lazy.
staunch asset book is to leave the original spelling of the author, making the book has a unique atmosphere, and the advantages of writing Neumanowej, operating a very poetic language, have been preserved. But I must admit that the anachronistic style of my reading has slowed considerably. The atmosphere then Egypt has also been cited in the photographs of the author, just a pity that they will appear in random places.
images ... is certainly a great read, which absorbs a fascination with Egypt and the local culture. Though at times very anachronistic, for example let it be the author's outrage that everyone in the age of 24 can vote in elections, some observations remain still valid, such as comments on the expansionary English - just zagościć tourist in one of Polish cities to observe, or rather hear this phenomenon.
book was very carefully taken apart and photographs, which the above-mentioned, everything seems to occupy its proper place. So it remains for me nothing more than to recommend reading for those who have not reached out for her.
PS. A small puzzle:
fruits grow in clusters and resemble the shape of cucumbers, but they are extremely sweet and strong smell.
question about which fruit :)?
