Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Up the Nile by Steam Even the most enthusiastic admirer of this majestic river must confess that the scenery on its banks is very tame, and soon becomes monotonous. On board a fast sailing isteamer there is continual change, and every turn brings new features, new sights in view. A Dahabeah, when becalmed, may be detained in the same spot for a whole week; or, if the passengers insist, as they must do if they want to move on, and there is no head wind, the crew will work away and haul the boat up stream - a very painful sight, and really galley work. Look at those poor fellows yoked together with a rope round their breasts, toiling along with outstretched and swollen necks, and listen to their painful song as they work, slowly advancing, by short steps, at the rate of from five to six miles per day Float ing down river, if contrary winds prevail, Dahabeahs are no better off. Arabs can do nothing without singing most piteously; their songs, which are described fully in every guide book, may amuse you for a whole day, but become, from constant repetition, quite unbearable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles Up the Nile Ampere has put Egypt in an epigram. A donkey ride and a boating-trip interspersed with ruins does, in fact, sum up in a single line the whole experience of the Nile traveller. Apropos of these three things - the donkeys, the boat, and the ruins - it may be said that a good English saddle and a comfortable Dahabeeyah add very considerably to the pleasure of the journey; and that the more one knows about the past history of the country, the more one enjoys the ruins.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sailing on the Nile Do you remember, my dear Etienne, having seen the dahabieh of the viceroy of Egypt moored at the quay of the Universal Exhibition? Well, we have just hired a craft exactly like it; in size, shape, and equipment, there is nothing to choose between them; and the crews, too, are alike in their features and color. A little more, and we should be tempted to consider ourselves veritable pachas, to say the least of it, if not the viceroy in person; and, to show how in earnest we are in playing our new parts, we have adopted the turban and the fez, we lounge about all day long and smoke like Turks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nile Boat: Or Glimpses of the Land of Egypt To add another book on Egypt to the number that have already appeared, may almost appear like a piece of presumption. But it should be remarked, that besides the army of erudite4 savans' who have enlisted themselves in the study of its antiquities, there has always been a dying corps of light-armed skirmishers, who, going lightly over the ground, busy themselves chiefly with its picturesque aspect; who aim at giving lively impressions of actual sights, and at thus creating an interest which may lead the reader to a further investigation of the subject This class of writers can, of course, even when successful in their object, claim but a very humble rank. The modicum of historical and archeological lore with which they are accustomed to season their narratives must, naturally, be borrowed from others; all the merit that falls to them being the faithful description of what they have themselves beheld. Of such slight texture is the composition of the present volume. The author had, indeed, entirely renounced the idea of preparing one, and was only encouraged to do so by the kind reception of a recent production of the same stamp, which aimed at producing distinctness of impressions by the combination of the pencil and the pen. While disclaiming for tho text of his book any pretensions to originality, the writer is anxious to say that this is not the case with the illustrations, of which the whole were drawn upon the spot, many of them with the Camera Lucida. He has endeavoured to present, within small compass, as much variety as possible, displaying the principal monuments of the earlier or Pharaonic monuments, as at Thebee; the later Ptolemaic style, as at Edfou and Phil; with some of the most beautiful specimens of the Arabian, at Cairo.

The shaduf workers had abandoned their skin-covered buckets and bamboo poles to seek shelter from the heat beneath a straggling tree or a straw mat elevated on stalks of ripe sugar cane. The boats of the fishermen lay in little coves, where the sails were spread as awnings to shade their crews. The fellaheen laborers had all retired to their clay huts to sleep through this fiercest period of the afternoon heat.

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. I may add that the whole cost of the Philae - food, dragoman's wages, boat-hire, cata tact, 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.
