"The Near East: Dalmatia, Greece, and Constantinople" by Robert Hichens is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work offers a vivid exploration of several picturesque regions in the Near East, specifically focusing on Dalmatia, Greece, and Constantinople, showcasing both their landscapes and cultural experiences. The narrative likely invites readers to join Hichens on a journey through stunning locales, with a particular emphasis on the historical and contemporary charm of these places. At the start of the book, the author introduces Dalmatia, describing the serene beauty of its landscapes — the pale waters of the Adriatic, charming fishing towns, and ancient fortresses. He emphasizes a sense of peacefulness and a slower pace of life in Dalmatia, contrasting it with modernity. Hichens paints vibrant pictures of towns like Zara, celebrated for their cheerful atmosphere and rich history, while also observing the lives of the local people, their traditions, and the natural setting surrounding them. The beginning of the narrative sets a contemplative and immersive tone, inviting readers to appreciate the deep-rooted beauty and cultural mystique of the Near East.
