"From Berlin to Bagdad and Babylon" by J. A. Zahm is a historical travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the author's journey across Europe to the Near East, exploring themes of history, culture, and civilization in a region that has witnessed significant changes over millennia. Zahm's observations reflect both his personal enthusiasm for the history of ancient civilizations and a study of contemporary societies along his route. The opening of the book sets the stage for Zahm's journey, beginning with his reflections on the rich historical tapestry between Berlin and Baghdad. He describes the route as not merely a physical passage, but one steeped in the legacies of various empires and peoples, from the Babylonians to the Romans. Zahm expresses a lifelong fascination with the lands that cradle ancient civilizations, hinting at the profound experiences that await him. His keen observations reveal a desire not only to witness the destinations themselves but also to engage in an exploration of the historical and cultural significance of the places he travels through.
