Traces of Travel Brought Home

The book recounts Kinglake's journey through the Middle East, particularly focusing on his travels in the Levant (Eastern Mediterranean) and the Holy Land. Kinglake provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cultures, and people he encounters during his expedition. The title “Eothen” is a Greek word meaning “from the dawn" or "from the east,” reflecting the oriental nature of his travelogue. 

First published in 1844, this edition is derived from the original book with 2 illustrations by the author. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.

Watercolor portrait of A. W. Kinglake with scenes inspired by his writing in the background.

A. W. Kinglake

was an English travel writer and historian best known for Eothen, his lively account of a journey through the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. Combining personal observation, humor, and a strong narrative voice, the book presents travel as an encounter with unfamiliar places rather than a catalogue of monuments and routes.
