The Migrant Flight

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 August 2015

Verified Purchase

I first read this account of a young grandee's exploratory tour through the frontier of the Arab World where East meets West, in 1940, With
hindsight, Kinglake's observations during his journeys in the 1840's', now appear to assume greater import. They now provide a valuable
insight into the clash of cultures, culminating in the political turmoil and human suffering we now see throughout the Middle-East.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 September 2009

Verified Purchase

I had previously borrowed and read an early edition of this book.
It was so good that I bought a copy from Amazon.
The version I bought did not have the Preface, Introduction nor notes at the end, thus making it a very poor imitation of the original work.
I do not recommend anybody to buy this book without first checking that it has the full original contents.

Originally published in 1844, Kinglake's travelogue is as fresh as if it had been written yesterday. Witty and interesting, packed with incidental detail.

Just the job

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 May 2020

Eothen is a rather witty guide book, it isn't so much a travelogue in the traditional sense, it is a memoir of a series events that happened around the author with most of the focus being on the author himself and how he handled those situations...he just sat there looking the part and let his "man" deal with things. Kinglake has quite a modern sense of humour, he doesn't see the point of doing the standard travel book because all those places have been visited and written about before, so go read one of those books if that's what your after. With this book you're gonna get info on how to handle yourself like a true Englishman.

I read this book during the Coronavirus lockdown and I found it interesting the similarities to Kinglake's journey through plague ridden Egypt, the social distancing is in effect there...use a donkey to charge at people whilst yelling at them to get out of the way...and the self isolation undertaken by some. A surprising topic first book I read during the events here.

Kinglake is a very good story teller and this book is full of little stories that draw you in easily, every now and then he gets quite comical, for example describing his old headmaster as using his very bushy eyebrows as arms to direct pupils. There is the odd satirical comment dotted here and there, he mentions Britain using Egypt to plant her feet in her efforts to control India. I did wonder at times how much of this was true, did he really get lost in the desert and instead of backtracking to safety he carried on regardless? Whether it was true or not it made for some good reading.

The book is finished off with a mini biography by Hannah Rogerson, which was a nice edition, a chance to find out more about the man, relive a couple of his best jokes and to find out that he was one of the first people to be cremated...interesting pub quiz fact if they ever happen again.

Eland has managed to pluck another forgotten classic out of history to bring to the modern reader, so kudos to them for that

Charming - a good edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 November 2009

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.
