About the Author
Laurence Oliphant (1829 1888) was a Scotch writer and traveler, Christian mystic, and active supporter of the return of the Jews to Israel. He traveled widely and, from 1865 to 1867, was a member of parliament. During the Russo-Turkish War (1878) he began to take an interest in the Holy Land and Jewish settlement there, in a blending of political, economical, and mystical religious considerations. Oliphant eventually settled in Haifa, where he engaged in religious and mystic contemplation. His writings include "Land of Gilead" (1880) and "Haifa, or Life in Modern Palestine" (1887).

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports you to the dramatic landscape of the Caucasus Mountains, a region of towering peaks and treacherous valleys where independent tribes challenged the expanding Russian Empire in the mid-19th century. The author, an intrepid explorer, offers a firsthand account of his journeys through Abkhasia and Circassia, regions that were then on the brink of subjugation by the Russian forces. He vividly portrays the daily life of the Circassians, their traditions, their resistance to Russian rule, and their unique social structures. The reader is immersed in the vibrant culture of these mountain people, their hospitality, and their daring spirit. The narrative is enriched by personal encounters, detailed descriptions of breathtaking scenery, and poignant observations of the human cost of conflict. Through the lens of the author's journey, the book explores the political climate of the region, the complex dynamics of power between Russia and the Caucasus, and the consequences of the British intervention in the Crimean War. This book offers a captivating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, revealing the complexities of political ambition, cultural clashes, and the human drive for freedom.
