Journey to Turkey and Egypt. Life, Customs, Traditions

Famous in the 19th century, but subsequently forgotten, writer, educator, local historian, and traveler E. L. Markov (1835–1903) left a vibrant literary legacy, in which his travel notes occupy a special place.

The book «Journey to Turkey and Egypt», in which the author recounts his trip to these countries, presents the reader with a vivid picture of everyday life in Turkey and Egypt during the tumultuous era at the turn of the last century. Luxury and poverty, greatness and ruin... A great place in a challenging time. 

This Turkey and this Egypt no longer exist and will never exist again, but thanks to the author's talent, you can see them, touch many thousands of years of history, and rediscover the place of collision and intertwining of cultures and civilizations.
