Description
A Winter on the Nile by Anthony Sattin
In 1849, Florence Nightingale embarked on a journey along the Nile that would change her life forever. At just 29 years old, she was an unknown quantity, struggling to find her place in the world. A trip to Egypt, arranged by family friends, offered her a chance to escape and discover herself. It was during this time that Nightingale found emotional recovery, inspiration, and the resolve to pursue her dreams of nursing. She was not alone on this journey; Gustave Flaubert, an unpublished French writer, also took passage on the same boat from Alexandria. Their experiences in Egypt were vastly different, yet both left a lasting impact on their lives. This book offers a fascinating portrait of Nightingale's journey and provides insight into the early days of travel to one of the world's greatest tourist destinations.Related Products
