Synopsis

""Last Letters From Egypt: To Which Are Added Letters From The Cape"" is a collection of letters written by Lucie Duff Gordon, a British writer and traveler, during her time in Egypt and South Africa in the mid-19th century. The book includes a series of letters that Gordon wrote to her family and friends, detailing her experiences living in Egypt and exploring its culture, history, and people. Her letters offer a unique perspective on life in Egypt during this time, as she was one of the few Western women who lived among the local population and learned to speak Arabic. In addition to the letters from Egypt, the book also includes a selection of letters that Gordon wrote from the Cape Colony in South Africa, where she lived for several years after leaving Egypt. These letters provide insight into the social and political climate of South Africa during this period, as well as Gordon's own observations on the natural beauty of the region.Overall, ""Last Letters From Egypt: To Which Are Added Letters From The Cape"" is a fascinating historical document that offers a glimpse into the life and travels of a remarkable woman during a pivotal moment in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
