My Winter on the Nile

Renowned author and editor Charles Warner penned this fascinating memoir about his travels through Egypt in 1874. Conveying his feelings of wonder in lucid and vivid writing, Warner takes the reader on a journey through Egypt’s many mysterious places—from the Pyramids, to the bazaars of Cairo, to various mosques and tombs, to the ruins of Thebes, and finally, down the Nile River. Paralleling the path of the Israelites exodus from Egypt, Warner’s journey down the river is full of surprises and extraordinary occurrences, including an unforgettable Christmas celebration in the heart of the Nile.
