'A book more interesting in its subject, or more satisfactory in
its execution, is seldom issued from the press. The country of
which it treats, and the circumstances under which it was produced,
equal each other in singularity.' So writes the translator of this
work, first published in English in 1802, and here republished in
facsimile, complete with maps and original engravings, in two
volumes. Baron Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825) French
illustrator and government official, accompanied Napoleon on his
Egyptian campagin in 1798. His journal combines an extraordinary
account of military endeavour, with a survey of the country and its
people as seen through the eyes of a keen and sensitive observer.
The resultant work, enhanced with numerous illustrations by the
author, holds a unique place in both European and Arabic historical
studies. The author later became director general of French
museums, and was the first administrator to organise collections in
the Louvre. The republication of his work will be widely welcomed.
