A Ride Across Palestine
Transcribed from the 1864 Chapman and Hall “Tales of All Countries” edition by David Price
"A Ride Across Palestine" by Anthony Trollope is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century during the Victorian era. The book details the author's journey through the Holy Land, offering insights into the geography, culture, and experiences encountered along the way. The narrative weaves together personal reflections and historical observations while documenting a journey that explores both the physical landscape and the emotional terrain of isolation and companionship. The story unfolds as the narrator, traveling alone through Jerusalem, meets a young man named John Smith who expresses his desire to join him on his journey to the Dead Sea and beyond. As they travel together, they encounter the stark beauty of the landscape, the complexities of local customs, and a series of pilgrims on their journey to the Holy Sites. Tensions arise when Smith’s true identity is revealed to be that of Julia Weston, a woman disguising herself as a man to escape the constraints imposed by her overbearing uncle. Their journey culminates in a confrontation with her uncle that results in the narrator being embroiled in a misunderstanding about their relationship. The tale ultimately reflects on the themes of friendship, identity, and the creating of unexpected bonds against a backdrop of one of the world's most storied regions.
