sparkling wit from the Ottoman Empire 16 Nov 2006

By Sarakani

Format:Paperback

This is a book to be treasured and I read it several times. It is hard to imagine the world Kinglake describes which is virtually extinct now at a time when lions abounded in Eastern Europe, Caliphs and Pashas smoked their pipes through long tubing and Lady Hester Stanhope gets esoteric.

Full of humour, the book is as British as they come with such sensitive nuances about the subject matter including disease, women, customs and issues of religion in the holy land.

I'm still looking for this brand of hero inside and out but don't think he's that common except as a carricature. Did Kinglake's world and attitude really exist?

Described as one of the first and best travel books

Churchill's recommendation,on Kipling's suggestion. 4 Jan 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Absolutely Charming. A picture of an admirable type of man, long since extinct: The aristocratic Englishman, who views everything with an ironic good humor, and complains about nothing, no matter how dangerous, or annoying,or trying. The writing itself is priceless, the subject matter interesting, but it is the man himself that makes the book.

Charming - a good edition 6 Nov 2009

By D. Hilton

Format:Paperback

The Cosimo Classics edition of Eothen is a satisfactory choice. It contains the Introduction and Preface, and the full text with some helpful footnotes. The font is clear, and the margins are adequate could be more generous. Unlike some of the reprint editions, this one seems to be well presented and free of typos.

I consider this a good edition of a charming book. Kinglake evokes a different world, and he manages to point out the contrast between the east and west which existed then, and still exist now - differences of values, pace and outlook on life. This is a book to enjoy and savour.

Disappointing

I had previously borrowed and read an early edition of this book.
It was so good that I bought a copy from Amazon. Read more

The actual movement from one place to another, in Europeanised countries, is a process so temporary - it occupies, I mean, so small a proportion of the travellers entire time - that his mind remains unsettled, so long as the wheels are going; &quote;

If you are wise, you will not look upon the long period of time thus occupied in actual movement as the mere gulf dividing you from the end of your journey, but rather as one of those rare and plastic seasons of your life from which, perhaps, in after times you may love to &quote;
