More DescriptionEöthen is a classic Victorian travel book and a great adventure from the mind of an Englishman travelling as a stranger in a strange land. Eöthen (meaning "from the East"), or Traces of travel brought home from the East, is the debut work by English writer, politician, and barrister A. W. Kinglake. The grand tours of Europe in the 17th and 18th Centuries saw young men travelling throughout Europe, experiencing culture and adventure. In Eöthen, Kinglake writes about his own grand tour of 1834 and offers a glimpse inside the mind of the Victorian gentleman as he travels to strange and exciting lands in the orient. Over the course of the text, Kinglake tells us all about his experience in seeing the holy land, visiting the Dead Sea, and gazing upon the great pyramids at Giza.
