Recenzii

Austrian diplomat and travel writer Ernest von Hesse-Wartegg (1851-1918) offers an account of the north African country, then a French colony, that could serve today as a textbook example of Euro-centric orientalism. Focusing first on the capital, then roaming through what is now known as Tunisia, he discusses such matters as the bornous of the Prophet, the palaces of the bey, life and customs of good society in Tunis, in the ghetto, the administration of justice and the state of prisons in capital and province, the harbor and watering places of Goletta, the Medsherda Valley and its town, habits and life of the Berbers, the holy town of Kerwan, woman's life amongst the nomads, and the oases of southern Tunis. The 1882 edition was published by Chatto and Windus.
