When Gustave Flaubert travelled with a friend in Egypt in 1849, he
had already become a writer and 'yearned for the East'. He vividly
records his rapture on seeing the desert, mosques, pyramids and the
sphinx, but is most excited by cities and the people he meets who
range from sheikhs to whores, jugglers, snake charmers and
acrobats. A lively and entertaining account, which provides much
insight into the author's characters. (Kirkus UK)
At once a classic of travel literature and a penetrating portrait of a “sensibility on tour,” Flaubert in Egypt wonderfully captures the young writer’s impressions during his 1849 voyages. Using diaries, letters, travel notes, and the evidence of Flaubert’s traveling companion, Maxime Du Camp, Francis Steegmuller reconstructs his journey through the bazaars and brothels of Cairo and down the Nile to the Red Sea.
