Illustrated preview — opening of the book
"Lishrub moyeh en Nil awadeh," "Who drinks Nile water must return." So says an old Egyptian proverb, the truth of which has certainly been exemplified in my own case; for after many years of residence, I find myself still enamoured of a country which may with some truth be called the world's wonderland.
It is not of course within the power of every one to repeat his visit, but probably few of the many thousands who annually " drink Nile water " are without the desire at least of again experiencing its subtle and elusive charm.
Explore Egypt through R. Talbot Kelly’s observations and 75 original paintings, from Cairo’s streets and mosques to the Nile, the Delta and the desert.
