About this Item

Print on Demand. This book recounts the adventures and observations of a traveler's journey through the Mediterranean and beyond. The author shares a series of vignettes that detail the lively conversations and events that unfolded among passengers and crew, and the colorful characters who inhabited the ports he visited. From an encounter with a blind scholar of Arabic in Tunisia, to the antics of a young English lord, the author provides a rich and nuanced portrait of life at sea, and interweaves these experiences with his observations on the social, political, and religious life of a world in flux. With lyrical prose, and an eye for cultural detail, the author brings the Mediterranean to life, providing a vivid historical snapshot and a delightful study of human nature. The book offers a glimpse into a Mediterranean where cultures collide and intertwine, and begs the reader to contemplate the challenges and the rewards of engaging with the unfamiliar. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Synopsis

Excerpt from La Lecture au Cours Moyen

Nous inspirant de ces judicieuses observations, nous avons fait un recueil de belles pages, pleines d'idées assez générales, de sentiments assez simples pour appartenir à des enfants de dix ans. Nous espérons que leur lecture provoquera chez eux un vif sentiment de plaisir, et cela seulement.
