Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As enthralling as any work of fiction, A Thousand Miles up the Nile is the quintessential Victorian travel book. In 1873, Amelia B. Edwards, an upper-class Victorian spinster, spent the winter visiting the then largely unspoiled splendors of ancient Egypt. An accurate and sympathetic observer, she brings nineteenth-century Egypt to life. A Thousand Miles up the Nile was an instant hit in 1876, and is received with equal enthusiasm by modern readers. Fans of Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody Emerson series will see similarities between the two Amelias. More importantly, A Thousand Miles up the Nile provides a wealth of background information and detail that will increase the reader’s understanding and enjoyment of Peters’ novels. This Norton Creek Press edition of A Thousand Miles up the Nile is a reproduction of the illustrated 1890 edition by Routledge and Sons. Look for more of Edwards’ works from Norton Creek Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miss Blandfords' 'A Thousand Miles Up the Nile ' is one of the classics of the literature of Egypt. Her work as an Egyptologist, and deserved reputation as such, began with the expedition of which it is the narrative. The author has studied her subjects with great care; she has consulted and compared authorities ancient and modern, with much industry; and her examination of the remains she describes was a labor of love and enthusiasm. . . Nor does she confine her attention to art and archaeology. She gives many fresh and lively sketches of the often described life of the dahabecah; of its great events, such as sand-storms and of the natives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles Up the Nile, Vol. 1 of 2 Other considerations, as time and cost, are, Of course, involved in this question. The choice between Daha beeyah and steamer is like the choice between travel ling with post-horses and travelling by rail. The one is expensive, leisurely, and delightful; the other is swift, less expensive, and less luxurious. Those who are con tent to snatch but a glimpse of the Nile will doubtless prefer the steamer. I may add that the whole cost of the Phila3 - food, dragoman's wages, boat-hire, cata raet, everything included except wine - was about 10 per day. With regard to temperature, we found it cool - even cold, sometimes - in December and January; mild in February; very warm in March and April. The climate of Nubia is simply perfect. It never rains; and once past the limit Of the tropic, there is no morning or evening chill upon the air. Yet even in Nubia, and especially along the forty miles that divide aboo-simbel from Wady Halfeh, it is cold when the wind blows strongly from the north. I had hoped to add here a little table of average temperatures, compiled from notes taken by a fellow-traveller who carefully registered the variations of the thermometer from day to day. But the Idle Man has only too well carried out the promise Of his sobriquet; and I am still without the necessary data.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles Up the Nile, Vol. 2 of 2 From Korosko to Derr, the actual distance is about eleven miles and a half; but what with obstructions in the bed of the river, and what with a wind that would have been favourable but for another great bend which the Nile takes towards the East, those eleven miles and a half cost us the best part of two days' hard tracking. Landing from time to time when the boat was close in shore, we found the order of planting every where the same, lupins and lentils on the slope against the water-line; an uninterrupted grove of palms on the edge of the bank; in the space beyond, fields of cotton and young corn; and then the desert. The arable soil was divided off, as usual, by hundreds of water channels; and seemed to be excellently farmed as well as abundantly irrigated. Not a weed was to be seen; not an inch of soil appeared to be wasted. In odd corners where there was room for nothing else, cu cumbers and vegetable-marrows flourished and bore fruit. Nowhere had we seen castor-berries so large, cotton-pods so full, or palms so lofty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles Up the Nile, Vol. 1 Of the comparative merits of wooden boats, iron boats, and steamers, I am not qualified to speak. We, however, saw one iron Dahabeeyah aground upon a sandbank, where, as we afterwards learned, it remained for three weeks. We also saw the wrecks of three steamers between Cairo and the First Cataract. It certainly seemed to us that the old-fashioned wooden Dahabeeyah - flat-bottomed drawing little water, light in hand, and easily poled off when stuck - was the one vessel best constructed for the navigation of the Nile. Other considerations, as time and cost, are, of course, involved in this question. The choice between Daha beeyah and steamer is like the choice between travel ling with post-horses and travelling by rail. The one is expensive, leisurely, and delightful; the other is swift, less expensive, and less luxurious. Those who are con tent to snatch but a glimpse of the Nile will doubtless prefer the steamer.
