Travels in Syria and the Holy Land

 

Author: John Lewis Burckhardt

 

 

"Travels in Syria and the Holy Land" is considered a masterpiece of descriptive and scientific travel literature. It chronicles the author's various journeys throughout the Holy Land between 1810 and 1816, meticulously documenting every aspect of the inhabitants' lives, religion, and culture. It also provides fascinating details about the terrain, natural history, and archaeology.

John Lewis Burckhardt (1784-1817) is among the most audacious and truthful early European explorers of the African interior. His numerous journals, published posthumously by the African Association, are remarkable both for their interest and their evident truthfulness.

Having studied and prepared himself for the rigors of an explorer's life, Burckhardt traveled extensively throughout North Africa and Asia, surviving in a hostile Islamic world by presenting himself as a pilgrim. In fact, he was so proficient in Arabic and knowledgeable about their religion that learned Arabs inadvertently praised him as a great Muslim scholar.
