Excerpt from Two Years of the Eastern Question, Vol. 2 of 2
The days lengthened out and time hung heavily on our hands: Lent was over; the almond-trees were in blossom, and With the storks and the swallows, those weather-wise birds of passage the tourists had begun their migrations from the genial East and South to their own chill North-west; boatfuls of them from Bombay or Cairo took Constantinople on their way to Brindisi or Marseilles, and they walked about our streets and lounged in our shops With eager wistful countenances, the briskness of their movements, the interest they took in all they saw.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a trip to explore the plains of Troy, where the author visits many sites associated with the Trojan War. The author is particularly interested in the archaeological excavations of Dr. Heinrich Schliemann, who claimed to have discovered the site of ancient Troy at Hissarlik. The author also discusses the broader historical and literary context of the Trojan War, and the thematic depth of the Iliad and Odyssey. Ultimately, the author concludes that Troy, whether its physical location can be definitively determined or not, remains a powerful and evocative symbol of the human experience of war and loss.
