5.0 out of 5 stars Churchill's recommendation,on Kipling's suggestion., 4 Jan 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars sparkling wit from the Ottoman Empire, 16 Nov 2006

By	Sarakani (Harrow United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Eothen: Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East (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
