A Thousand Miles to the Nile (Complete Audiobook) – PART 4

Audiobook A Thousand Miles on the Nile
by Amelia B. Edwards (1831-1892)

Amelia B. Edwards wrote this historical, Egyptological, and cultural study in 1877, and it immediately became a bestseller, reprinted in 1888 in England and abroad. She traveled throughout Egypt at a time when most women did not leave their homes. One of the pioneering Egyptologists of the time, she established the Edwards Professorship of Egyptology, held first by the great Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie.

This book is in a sense a seminal work, known for influencing the modern writings of Elizabeth Peters in her Amelia Peabody Emerson series of murder mysteries.
