От Каира до Стамбула. Путешествие по Ближнему Востоку

by H.V. Morton, Генри В. Мортон

Генри В. Мортон открывает ничуть не поблекшую в веках красоту Египта, суровое очарование берегов Мертвого моря и буйство красок на берегах Босфора... Повторяя пути библейских апостолов, он исколесил Израиль и Палестину, побывал в Сирии и Иордании, своими глазами видел ливанские кедры и саронские лилии - словом, воочию наблюдал жизнь на долгой дороге от Каира до Стамбула.

In the late 1940s he moved to South Africa, settling near Cape Town in Somerset West and became a South African citizen.

We love H V Morton's travel books and this one, of countries we don't know much about, was particularly interesting.
