Produktbeschreibung
A voyage that reads like a late-Victorian postcard from the edge of the known world, Eastern Nights - And Flights invites you to cross cultural frontiers with wit, wonder, and a steady sense of awe. This is more than a travel narrative; it is a tapestry of voyage and exploration, where encounters with distant streets, markets, and horizons illuminate the contrasts between east and west. Alan Bott crafts adventure stories framed by thoughtful reflections on oriental fiction, Asian travel writing, and the lingering echoes of orientalism era essays, drawing readers into a world where curiosity meets restraint, and spectacle meets nuance. The book's form-observant reportage edged with vivid narrative-offers both page-turning drama and museum-worthy cultural insight, appealing to travel enthusiasts and collectors of classic travel alike. Historically, the work stands as a significant beacon from the late Victorian era, offering a window into contemporary attitudes, hopes, and anxieties about distant realms. Its restoration by Alpha Editions realigns a revered artefact with today's readership, preserving its flavour while inviting fresh interpretation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors, it is an invitation to reenter a world of east-west contrasts, cultural encounters, and enduring storytelling.
