Nightingale, Florence
Letters from Egypt: A Journey on the Nile, 1849-1850
Florence Nightingale was twenty-nine when she visited Egypt in the winter of 1849-50 with her friends Charles and Selina Bracebridge. A journey to the fabled land of the Arabian Nights was a fantastic adventure at that time, and Florence wrote long, picturesque letters to her family describing her visit and her views of the country, its history and its people. These letters were edited and privately printed by her sister, Parthenope, in 1854 and were greatly admired by those who read them, but they have never before been published. Attractive, intelligent and extremely well read, Miss Nightingale was one of the earliest women to make such a journey, and she researched her subject well. Her letters are a fascinating account of life in a country whose greatest asset, its past, had only recently been discovered. They are also a valuable record of a way of life that has now vanished. And they are an extraordinary account into the character of a woman who within five years was to become a legend. The brilliant landscapes and unimaginable colors of Egypt also drew artists from all over Europe, and Letters from Egypt is illustrated throughout with the glorious paintings and lithographs of David Roberts, Theodore Frere, Edward Lear and others. 223p. illus.index. Clean, neat,tight copy, minor damage to foot of spine, else fine Book

Frank, Katherine
Lucie Duff Gordon: A Passage to Egypt
Lucie Duff Gordon was a world apart from her Victorian counterparts. An intellectual, traveller, writer and progressive social commentator, she and her husband led a bohemian, eccentric and highly unconventional life in London, socialising with such luminaries as Tennyson, Dickens and Thackeray. In 1862, however, Lucie was diagnosed with tuberculosis and on the advice of her doctor, left her husband and three children to live in Egypt, where she would spend the rest of her life. Drawing on Duff Gordon's correspondence with her family, Katherine Frank elegantly relates the dramatic transformation that she underwent as she discarded the restrictions of Victorian England, shunned the English community in Cairo and immersed herself in the Egyptian way of life - 'the real, true Arabian nights'. Lucie Duff Gordon, Noor ala Noor 'light from the source of all light' as she later became, led an exceptional, luminous life, never afraid to step outside the boundaries of convention and explore the unknown.399p. plates bibliography index.

Reckless
From elite London society to the golden sands of Egypt . . . and the sacred places of her heart . . . When Kat Adair plunges into the waves to rescue a drowning man, it is just the beginning of an odyssey that will sweep the fisherman's daughter into danger and desire. Convinced she is in love with the man she saved, Egyptologist David Turnberry, she feigns amnesia, thus enabling her to linger among the highborn. Hunter MacDonald, rugged archaeologist, is wise to her little charade -- and determined to protect his best friend. Undaunted, Kat stows away on the ship carrying David and Hunter"s expedition party to the land of the pharaoh. Scandal ensues, and Hunter vows the only way to curtail this confounding woman"s schemes is to marry her. Inevitably, in the sultry heat of the desert, passions ignite. But as the secrets of the ancient tombs are revealed, terrible danger unfolds, and Kat must trust the one man willing to risk everything to save her from doom.' Book

Moustapha M. Bey Moukhtar
Mes Caricatures Par Moustapha Bey Moukhtar de 1916 à 1926
In 4° (27×21 cm); (2 b.), 64, (2 b.) pp. Legatura editoriale con titolo e caricatura impresso in nero bianco e verde smeraldo al piatto anteriore. Al recto caricatura in smeraldo. Qualche difetto al dorso con piccole spaccature, esemplare un lento ed in parte a fogli sciolti e per il resto in buone condizioni di conservazione. Alla prima carta bianca lunga dedica autografa di Moustapha M. Bey Moukhtar datata 1930. Prima rarissima edizione di questa importante raccolta di caricature del più celebre caricaturista egiziano, Moustapha M. Bey Moukhtar. Nato nel 1883, Mokhtar è scomparso nel 1954 dove una lunga carriera di caricaturista. Poco si sa della sua vita ma recentemente la sua opera è stata recuperata quando, in occasione del 138° anniversario della nascita di Moustafa Moharram Bey Mokhtar, il progetto “Memories of caricature” ha organizzato una settimana di celebrazioni dal tema: “Moustafa Moharram Bey Mokhtar… l’ignoto caricaturista”. Moukhatar è considerato come uno dei più importanti caricaturisti egiziani della prima metà del XX° secolo e come uno dei pionieri del fumetto egiziano. Moustafa Mohrram Mokhtar è uno dei pilastri della moderna arte caricaturale egiziana. Oltre alla sua professione di giudice, pittore ad olio, alla sua vocazione di scultore, incisore, egli ha rappresentato uno degli antenati dell’arte della caricatura in epoca moderna. Il caricaturista fu il primo ad aver raccolto nei libri le sue opere caricaturali, essendo il primo caricaturista egiziano ad aver pubblicato testi dedicati alle sue caricature. Questa del 1926 è la prima opera da lui stampata e raccoglie numerosissime sue caricature realizzate tra 1916 ed il 1926. Ogni caricatura presenta una didascalia che spiega chi sia il personaggio ritratto. L’opera qui presentata è molto apprezzata non solo per il suo aspetto artistico ma per il modo con il quale l’autore riuscì, attraverso i suoi disegni ad illustrare la situazione politica e sociale dell’Egitto nella prima metà del XX° secolo. Giudice di professione fu assai inserito nella vita politica egiziana contando numerosissime conoscenze negli ambienti politici. Molto raro. Very rare.
