Notes On A Journey From Cornhill To Grand Cairo is a travelogue written by William Makepeace Thackeray, an English novelist and satirist. The book is a collection of essays and observations from his journey to Egypt in the mid-19th century. It chronicles his experiences as he travels from London to Alexandria, and then on to Cairo and other parts of Egypt. Thackeray's writing is witty and insightful, and he provides vivid descriptions of the people, places, and customs he encounters along the way. He also offers commentary on the political and social issues of the time, including colonialism and imperialism. Notes On A Journey From Cornhill To Grand Cairo is a fascinating account of a journey through a land that was still largely unknown to Westerners at the time, and it offers valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the era.From this scene we rushed off somewhat discomposed to make a breakfast off red mullets and grapes, melons, pomegranates, and Smyrna wine, at a dirty little comfortable inn, to which we were recommended: and from the windows of which we had a fine cheerful view of the gulf and its busy craft, and the loungers and merchants along the shore. There were camels unloading at one wharf, and piles of melons much bigger than the Gibraltar cannon-balls at another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
