(Alexander William) Eothen; with an Introduction and Notes This ebook was transcribed by Les Bowler "Eothen" by A. W. Kinglake is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This work recounts the author’s journey through the Levant during the early 1830s, focusing on his experiences and observations of the cultures, landscapes, and people in the regions of the Ottoman Empire. The opening of the narrative introduces the setting at the border between Hungarian and Ottoman territories, highlighting the stark differences between the two societies. Kinglake describes his apprehension as he prepares to cross into the Ottoman side, with its associated dangers and the specter of the plague looming over it. Upon arriving in the Ottoman lands, he encounters a group of Turkish porters who, despite their weariness, possess an air of dignity and pride reminiscent of their people’s historical grandeur. The text paints vivid images of the landscape and the characters Kinglake meets, setting the tone for a rich exploration of Eastern life as he embarks on this transformative journey.
