October 13.--I arose before daylight, and set off at five o'clock for Baalbeck, passing by a remarkable excavation, partly arched over, and having a stone tomb at either end, at fifteen minutes past five. At half-past six, I came to a beautiful Corinthian column, to the right of the road; it is about sixty feet in height, and is composed of seventeen blocks of marble, having a tablet on its north side, where probably was once an inscription. On its capital sat a huge black eagle, which flew away when I presented my gun at him. At 8.40. I reached the outer wall of the stupendous temple of Baalbeck, and breakfasted under a fine walnut-tree, close to a clear stream which bathes its walls. While breakfast..

Download or read book Forty Days written by John Booker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty Days: Quarantine and the Traveller, c. 1700 –1900 provides a timely reminder that no traveller in past centuries could return from the East without spending up to 40 days in a lazaretto to ensure that no symptoms of plague were developing. Quarantine was performed in virtual prisons ranging from mud huts in the Danube basin to a converted fort on Malta, evoking every emotion from hatred and hostility through to resignation and even contentment. Drawing on the diaries and journals of some 300 men and women of many nationalities over more than two centuries, the author describes the inadequate accommodation, poor food and crushing boredom experienced by detainees. The book also draws attention to comradeship, sickness, and death in detention, as well as Casanova’s unique ability to do what he did best even in the lazaretto of Ancona. Other well-known detainees included Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Twain and Sir Walter Scott. Lavishly illustrated, the work includes a gazetteer of 49 lazarettos in Europe and Asia Minor, with inmates’ comments on each. This book will appeal to all those interested in the history of medicine and the history of travel.

Download or read book Sacred Space and Anglo Turkish Relations written by John Fisher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work investigates how various sacred spaces in Ottoman and Republican Turkey interfaced with British foreign policy. It considers how these spaces impacted upon British prestige in the context of its dealings with Turkey chiefly, as well as other Great Powers. The period covered is from the demise of the Levant Company in 1825, to the deconsecration of the Crimean Memorial Church in Istanbul, in 1976. Other sacred spaces discussed include the British Embassy Chapel, the Crimean War cemeteries, various British churches and cemeteries in Izmir, the Gallipoli cemeteries, connected with the campaign of 1915, and the Phanar, the Ecumenical Patriarch's home in Istanbul. The book considers how, and to what extent, the Foreign Office in London, and its staff in Turkey, intervened to secure those spaces, and why the politics of the Patriarchate intruded into the Foreign Office's geo-strategic considerations. It considers the limits of that support, and how dealings over sacred space intermeshed generally with British policy towards Turkey. It further explores the motives, not just of diplomats and consuls, who were instrumental in establishing or safeguarding those spaces, but also the aims of other organisations and of expatriate Britons, who were similarly involved. It also considers instances where such support became attenuated or was withdrawn. The book is unique in illuminating, in a broad fashion, the role of sacred space in the context of Anglo-Turkish relations, and British power projection in the Near East.
