Inspired by a journey with an Eton colleague ten years prior, this memoir exemplifies how travel can become a personal experience and change who we are. Though over a century and half old, Eothen, Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East feels as strikingly modern as any contemporary literary memoir. Kinglake's intimate, conversational style and his sense of humor and irony made Eothen-meaning "from the early dawn" or "from the East"-an instant success when it was first published in 1844. Even today, in the 21st century, it maintains its fresh and original feel. For lovers of travel, the Middle East, or self discovery this book will become an instant favorite. 607 $aMiddle East$xDescription and travel 700 $aKinglake$b Alexander William$0562685 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156221703321 996 $aEothen: traces of travel brought home from the East$94179055 997 $aUNINA
