Out Of Egypt: Stories From The Threshold Of The East (1895)

By Percy Addleshaw

Book Overview

Out of Egypt: Stories from the Threshold of the East is a collection of short stories published in 1895 by Percy Hemingway. The book is set in Egypt during the late 19th century and is a reflection of the author's own experiences living in the country. The stories explore the complexities of life in Egypt, including the tensions between the British colonial rulers and the local population, the clash of cultures between East and West, and the challenges faced by those seeking to navigate the changing social and political landscape. The characters in the book range from British expatriates to Egyptian peasants, and each story offers a unique perspective on life in Egypt at the time. Hemingway's writing is vivid and evocative, capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of the country and bringing the reader into the heart of the action. Out of Egypt is a fascinating glimpse into a world that is both exotic and familiar, and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
