Very Good Turkish Original grey cloth bdg. Roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Turkish. [xxviii], [4], [4], 1112 p., 2 full-page color maps. First map is the most famous one showing the Nile and the second one shows the Mediterranean shores and cities of Egypt. Rare first edition of the 10th, and the last volume of the Evliya's travel corpus including his descriptions of Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia in the late 17th century. This legendary travel account was published between 1896-1938 respectively in ten volumes. "Book X lands him in Egypt and takes him up the Nile to the Sudan and Ethiopia. When Evliya reaches Ibrim on the Nile, the southernmost limit of the Ottoman Empire, he remarks on the intense heat of the place; contrasting it with the intense cold he experienced at the northernmost limit, Azov; and with the mild climates at the eastern and western frontiers, Baghdad on the one hand, and Istolnibelgrad on the other. Apparently, Egypt suited him best, and he found Cairo a worthy counterpart to Istanbul; for he settled there to work up his memoirs of forty-one years of travel. He died around 1683, and there is controversy over whether a certain cryptic passage refers to the Ottoman defeat at Vienna.". (Evliya Çelebi's book of travels. 2. Evliya Çelebi in Bitlis). Evliya Çelebi visited Suakin during one of his journeys across Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Tanzania. He describes this territory under the title "The characteristics of old throne center Suakin" as "we stayed in this city for 12 days, trading with all kinds of people with camel trains. I sold 40 dromedaries in return for 500 piasters and also disburdened, sold 50 tusks for 500 piasters. Then we started to wander around the city. The Suez Sea is to the north of the island, and it takes 12 hours to reach Mecca from the island. Therefore, the direction of Mecca from this city is to the north. Suakin is a little island stretching three miles from east to west. (Afyoncu, Daily Sabah). Further travels in the 1670s took him to western and southwestern Anatolia and Syria. He completed the Hajj again and appears to have settled in Egypt for several years. He traveled in Upper Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia searching for the sources of the River Nile, before settling down to compile his great travel book. OCLC 630428224 (with four copies).

Bologna, 1965, 8vo stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 27/38. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Light wear and soiling to boards light tanning to index cards and album leaves. Very good. Extensively-annotated photograph album covering Kenneth Fields' life and adventures in and around Harar Ethiopia during his military service there in the late 1960s. Almost all of the photos in the album are accompanied by substantial captions from Fields on mounted index cards. Fields put this together as a travelogue starting with three postcards home to his wife Irma from each of his layovers on the way to Addis Ababa Rome Athens and Cairo. He arrived in Harar on July 23 1967 and the first photo is an image of the house he and MSgt. Seery share "rented for us by the American Embassy." Then follow photos of their pet baboons Cheesy and Ishy who is "a mess.loves beer & cigarettes better than anything." They also have a donkey Thelma and a watch dog Spot. He then provides a photo tour of the house and a summary of his expenses: for a guard "sabanya" a cook Tinish and maid Tinish's daughter Alllimus his share is $17 a month. <br> <br> Fields spent a significant time hunting - there are several images of him with other soldiers on expeditions posing with gazelles and kudus. One photo includes "our helper Tashoma.a little 15 or 16 year old kid the group has kinda adopted. He helps out around the house & goes to the field with us.the boys are trying to get him into Haille Sallaisie sic University." There are also images of a small zoo nearby a "typical Ethiopian house" the local cemetery and the central market in Harar. The last few photos depict a more formal dinner party with Ethiopian officials but Fields does not provide any captions. <br> <br> Fields never describes his duties or mission in any detail but in 1953 a U.S.-Ethiopian Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement was signed and U.S. military advisors established several semi-permanent installations in Ethiopia to help reorganize the Imperial Ministry of National Defense. American "advisors" were also active in helping Ethiopia fight against the Somali Republic and Eritrean Liberation Front rebels. The Ministry's Third Division was headquartered at Harar which is also where the Imperial Military Academy was located. <br> <br> Kenneth Q. Fields 1937-2012 of Sanford Florida spent his career in the Army serving in Korea and Vietnam and retiring with the rank of master sergeant. hardcover books
