Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Napoleon Hill

Not really what I was expecting, having read a great deal of ancient travel-writing, such as the works of Pausanias and Strabo. Dalrymple seemed more interested in the stories of random people he met on his journey from Greece to Upper Egypt than in the landscape, monuments and settlements that he must surely have passed on his way, descriptions of which were what I had hoped for when I picked up this book. That said, the stories were interesting, and very eye-opening about the situation Christians in the Middle East face, although I'm sure modern historians would dismiss them as apocryphal compared to official records that tell a very different story, particularly since the same people frequently offer Dalrymple stories of the supernatural experiences they have had as well as their accounts of events in their lives. The other thing that led me to mark this down as I was rating it was the incompleteness of the account. Again perhaps my view is coloured by the ancient writers, who had a tendency to at least mention every two-house-hamlet they passed on their journey, and even derelict sites and monuments, even if it was just to give the name of the place, but Dalrymple left large gaps in his account of his journey, and I very much doubt that he did so because he saw and heard nothing on the way from Jerusalem to Alexandria or between Beirut and Jerusalem, for example. Apart from these complaints, however, this was a reasonably entertaining read. Dalrymple's style was engaging and he took the time to explain and expand on the background information that a reader would need to understand his views on what he saw on his journey but keeping it tight and relevant at all times. Overall it was a decent book, it just didn't live up to my expectations of what information I could get out of it. I definitely recommend it, however, for anyone studying Inter-Faith cooperation, modern Christian Sectarianism or subjects related to those two. This book will likely thoroughly shake up your world-view on these topics.
