Résumé

Résumé : From Egypt to Japan" by Henry M. Field offers a vivid account of a journey through Egypt, focusing on the historical and cultural significance of its ancient monuments. The narrative begins with the author's departure from Constantinople, leading to an exploration of Alexandria and Cairo. Field describes the intermediary climate and atmosphere of Egypt, contrasting it with the harsh winters of Europe and America. The journey continues along the Nile, where the author observes the daily life of the Egyptian people, their poverty, and the influence of the Nile on their agriculture and economy. Field provides detailed descriptions of the Pyramids of Ghizeh and Sakkara, emphasizing their grandeur and historical importance. The narrative then shifts to the temples of Upper Egypt, particularly those in Thebes, Luxor, and Karnac, highlighting their architectural magnificence and the mysteries they hold about ancient Egyptian civilization. Field reflects on the religious and cultural practices of the Egyptians, drawing parallels with biblical history and questioning the influence of Egyptian culture on Moses and the Israelites. Throughout the journey, Field offers insights into the social and political dynamics of Egypt, including the role of the Khedive and the presence of American missionaries. The book serves as both a travelogue and a historical exploration, providing readers with a comprehensive view of Egypt's past and its enduring legacy.
Biographie : Henry Fielding (22 April 1707 - 8 Octr 1754) was an English novelist, irony writer, and dramatist known for earthy humour and satire. His comic novel Tom Jones is still widely appreciated. He and Samuel Richardson are seen as founders of the traditional English novel. He also holds a place in the history of law enforcement, having used his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London's first intermittently funded, full-time police force.
