Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1838 and 1839, painter David Roberts travelled throughout Egypt and across the Sinai Peninsula to Petra, Jerusalem, and Palestine. The lithographs based on the sketches and paintings he produced during these trips won him fame that endures to this day. This exceptional package presents, full-colour plates of his original artwork, accompanied by commentary and extracts from his journals. In a fascinating comparison between the lands that Roberts depicts and their modern-day incarnations, White Star has juxtaposed new photographs from travel photographer Antonio Attini with sketches of the same site drawn by Roberts, revealing the same view, more than a century and a half later. These pairings, accompanied by an insightful text by Fabio Bourbon, provide readers with a unique perspective on changes that have occurred in these legendary regions. AUTHOR: Journalist Fabio Bourbon has written numerous books including, most recently, The Holy Land White Star Guide. Antonio Attini is the photographer for several White Star titles.

It appeared he owed the gentleman 1300 florins, and had wished to abscond, but was luckily overtaken before the departure of the boat. This affair was hardly concluded when the bell rang, the wheels began to revolve, and too soon, alas, my dear ones were out of sight!I had but few fellow-passengers. The weather was indeed fine and mild; but the season was not far enough advanced to lure travellers into the wide world, excepting men of business, and those who had cosmopolitan ideas, like myself. Most of those on board were going only to Presburg, or at farthest to Pesth. The captain having mentioned that a woman was on board who intended travelling to Constantinople, I was immediately surrounded by curious gazers. A gentleman who was bound to the same port stepped forward, and offered his services in case I should ever stand in need of them; he afterwards frequently took me under his protection.The fine mild weather changed to cold and wind as we got fairly out into the great Danube.

Book excerpt: In 1838, Scottish painter David Roberts (1796-1864) embarked on a three-year journey that would shape Europe's perception of the Middle East. Nurtured on Bible stories and tales of the exotic Orient, Roberts had always dreamed of exploring the Holy Land, though travel there was an arduous, dangerous undertaking. While he set himself the goal of bringing home an accurate visual record, he returned with a portfolio of hand-tinted lithographs that lost nothing of romanticism. His use of light, color, and atmosphere lent an aura of exoticism to his realistic view.

Book excerpt: “An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read.” —Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler’s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history’s most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit. “Smart and savvy, insightful and illuminating.” —Los Angeles Times “An exciting, well-told story informed by Feiler’s boundless intellectual curiosity . . . [and] sense of adventure.” —Miami Herald

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EGYPT - The "Holy Land' Updated and expanded, Egypt: The Holy Land is a "novel of sorts" about some 48 African-Americans and 1 white couple traveling through Egypt on an Educational Tour led by Dr. Fred Monderson, an Egyptologist, historian and himself an African-American, who uses some of his previous writings ("Dr. Yosef A.A. Ben-Jochannan;" "The Nile Valley;" "Egypt, Kush, Ethiopia;" "Flow of the Nile" "Temple of Karnak: Majestic Architecture of Ancient Kemet;" "Temple of Luxor;" "The Ramesseum;" "Technology in a Global Community;" "Medinet Habu: Mortuary Temple of Rameses III;" "The Dance, Music and Musical Instruments;" "The Priesthood;" "Abydos: Home of Osiris;" "Temple of Dendera;" "The Nile Valley in Antiquity History;" "Fascination of Egyptian Archaeology;" "Egypt and Africa;" "Franklin Avenue Shuttle: Shuttle into the Millennium;" "The Illustrious Queen Mother;" "Black Egypt and the Struggle for Inclusion;" "Queen of Sheba in Racial Portrait as Historical Distortion;" and ("Spreading the Knowledge;") to engage his students/traveling companions with reading material as they go from site to site on the tourist circuit. The book is packed with a whole repertoire of experiences of the Tour Guide, from his class notes as a student at Hunter College of the City University of New York in the early 1970s, notes from interesting lectures he has attended in New York, notes from his classes at Temple University's Afrocentric Institute under Dr. Molefi Asante, notes from lectures at New York University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and historical and cultural sayings as well as lectures given on the spot after each day's itinerary. To this is added the encouraged experiences of students who share parts of their life experience to help enrich the learning environment created in this tour of the "Holy Land." Thus, the book is divided into sections involving discussions in the Airport Lounge at JFK, New York, prior to departure; and once on the ground in Egypt with all the characters checked into their hotel rooms, then the book is divided into the following arrangement of the day's itinerary. The characters talk to each other sharing their before-hand wisdom at breakfast; on the bus to the sites; at the lecture after each day's outing; followed by a question and answer period; middle of the day free-time; then at dinner; in the hotel lounge; and back in their hotel rooms. Each individual brings a different perspective to the group dynamic sharing their knowledge and experiences to make the overall Educational Tour a memorable one. Some are students who share their notes, others are retired professionals who write and offer aspects of their knowledge from work to play. Then famous quotations, some from the Library of Congress walls are added. Such cultural topics as "Adultery," "Agriculture," "Calendar," "Charms," "Circumcision," "Cosmogony and Cosmology," Crimes and Punishment," "Ethics and Morality," "Family," "Gods," "Hero and Hero Gods," "Images and Idols," "Magic," "Marriage," "Righteousness," "Salvation," "Tithes," all help enhance the overall message as one of a spiritual, historical, cultural, photographic and historical adventure. Several hundred photographs as well as illustrations, papyrus and ceramic art and plans of temples, combine to form a wonderful experience, when a little imagination is included along the way. This is an excellent book, packed with a tremendous amount of esoteric and philosophic knowledge, useful information, creating an overall remarkably knowledgeable and intellectually stimulating experience about ancient Egyptian art, architecture, religion, life, that is useful to the tourist, student, even professional and lay person alike. Somewhat technical, but it is a work worthy of study that makes for excellent, informative, good reading. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] blackegypt.com@blackegyp
