Reviews

[Nawel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pas très compliqué à lire. On tombe souvent dans les clichés Orientalistes. Pas fan des récits de voyage de manière générale.

An interesting travel journey written by a British lady. I liked the poetic descriptive language she employs in transcribing the life of Persians and their national characteristics :)

[Jonathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Paternalistic (maternalistic? since Gertrude is a woman) and includes the usual tropes, but the writing and imagery is great.

An enjoyable travel book from the 19th century
