“During a week’s stay at Esne, the last town of note in Upper Egypt, I had collected a good deal of information concerning the state of Nubia, and had taken my measures accordingly.”
An illustrated journey along the Nubian Nile—restored as a clean, reflowable EPUB.
In 1813, Swiss explorer John Lewis Burckhardt travelled south from Aswan through Nubia, recording its towns, antiquities, landscapes, routes and communities. First published in 1819, this landmark travel narrative remains an important historical source for the Nile Valley and the Sudan.
This Nile Book Store edition includes:
the complete English text; Burckhardt's portrait; three large original maps; dozens of original inscription and architectural drawings; a navigable table of contents; and a new Sudan-specific cover.
Illustration preview: The product gallery shows Burckhardt’s portrait and three genuine maps reproduced from the public-domain source edition.
Historical context: This early nineteenth-century European account reflects the terminology and assumptions of its time. Some descriptions may now be considered outdated or offensive. It is presented unabridged for historical and research value.
