Sinopsis

Safar Nameh, Persian Pictures: A Book Of Travel (1894) is a travelogue written by Gertrude Lowthian Bell, a British writer, explorer, and archaeologist who traveled extensively in the Middle East during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is a collection of her experiences and observations during her travels in Persia (modern-day Iran) in the 1890s. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each describing a different aspect of Bell?s journey, from the landscapes and people she encountered to the history and culture of the region. Bell?s writing is vivid and descriptive, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of Persia as she experienced them. In addition to her travelogue, Bell also includes numerous photographs and illustrations that she took during her travels, providing a visual record of the places she visited and the people she met. The book also includes an appendix with a glossary of Persian words and phrases, as well as a bibliography of other works on Persia that Bell recommends for further reading. Overall, Safar Nameh, Persian Pictures: A Book Of Travel is a fascinating and informative account of one woman?s journey through a region that was relatively unknown to Western readers at the time. Bell?s writing and photography provide a unique glimpse into the culture and history of Persia, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in travel, history, or the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
