Book Synopsis Journey to the Orient by : Gérard de Nerval
Download or read book Journey to the Orient written by Gérard de Nerval and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just an account of his travels in Cairo, Beirut, and Constantinople in 1842, Gerard de Nerval's "Journey to the Orient" is a quest for the unknown. If his narrator seems credulous in his retelling of legends of the origins of the pyramids and the mysteries of the Druzes, it is with this purpose in mind. While the Orientalists of his day were confident of having, in the words of Edward Said, "grasped, appropriated, reduced, and codified" the Orient, Nerval's Orient remains elusive, impossible to grasp. Poignantly dramatized in the thematic centerpieces of the tales of the Queen of Sheba and the Caliph Hakim, what takes shape in this visionary travelogue, as the author's hopes are alternately disappointed and rapturously renewed, is the story of the artist's search for the ideal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the Orient We feel that it has been a privilege before visiting other lands, to have again first traversed our own, getting a bird's-eye view for comparison with the foreign countries we shall visit. We left San Francisco bay at night, and by morning were crossing the trackless wastes of the Mojave desert. For one day we traversed the land of the coyote and the red man. "Lo, the poor Indian," is showing in many ways the effects of civilization; some of them have comfortable, square stone houses, with books, shaded lamps, lace curtains, etc. The men take care of the babies in some cases while the women go out into the market-place, - which is the railroad station, -to sell bead work and gaudy blankets to the tourists, so in some respects they have even gone a step in advance of the white men and the woman-suffragists. But the white people are beginning to realize the possibilities of this seemingly desert land, and occasionally we saw the shack of the hardy homeseeker. If our government would only spend on this productive land the money it will spend on dreadnoughts in the next ten years how many families would be given comfortable farms, and what an enormous asset would be added to the nation. Now we come to the prosperous states of Colorado and Kansas; the land of corn and wheat. Monotonous in their sameness arc the states of Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio. Then we came to the hills and finally mountains, and found ourselves in historic ground. Occasionally we saw the old hewn-log houses of the pioneers of our country, some of them still inhabited. In "Maryland, My Maryland," we crossed the river at Harper's Ferry, where "John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave." Soon we came to Washington, the city of a thousand interests to the patriotic American. We went to the Capitol and sat in the gallery of the House, listening to the debate of the wise men concerning Canadian reciprocity.

Book Synopsis Viewing the Islamic Orient by : Pallavi Pandit Laisram
Download or read book Viewing the Islamic Orient written by Pallavi Pandit Laisram and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic Orient studies the travel accounts of four British travelers during the nineteenth century. Through a critical analysis of these works, the author examines and questions Edward Said’s concept of "Orientalism" and "Orientalist" discourse: his argument that the orientalist view had such a strong influence on westerners that they invariably perceived the orient through the lens of orientalism. On the contrary, the author argues, no single factor had an overwhelming influence on them. She shows that westerners often struggled with their own conceptions of the orient, and being away for long periods from their homelands, were in fact able to stand between cultures and view them both as insiders and outsiders. The literary devices used to examine these writings are structure, characterization, satire, landscape description, and word choice, as also the social and political milieu of the writers. The major influences in the author’s analysis are Said, Foucault, Abdel-Malek and Marie Louise Pratt.

Book Synopsis Veiled Encounters by : Michael Harrigan
Download or read book Veiled Encounters written by Michael Harrigan and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel narratives were the principal source of knowledge about the lands of the Near East and the Indian Ocean Basin in 17th-century France. Claiming the authority of first-hand observation, they paradoxically rely for their legitimization on the tropes of an established literary tradition. The status of these texts remained ambiguous, not least because of their anecdotal depictions of great riches, brutality or sexual promise. Drawing on the insights of post-colonial scholarship, this study tackles a question given scant attention in previous work and suggests that beyond the hazy representation of the Orient, an opposition emerges between the threatening Near East and the indolent East Indies. Distinguishing recognizable representations from those generated by new encounters, this book questions the feasibility of cultural representation through travel, exploring a large corpus of original sources written by French ecclesiastics, gentlemen-travellers, ambassadors and adventurers. Linguistic, religious, cultural or geographical barriers meant most travellers remained distanced from the peoples about whom they would simultaneously become authoritative. The encounter was further transformed in narratives that were intended to entertain and to satisfy the criterion of curiosité. The 'Oriental' that emerges is a supremely variable entity, alternately naked or veiled, barbaric or civilized, menacing or attractive.
