Voyage en Orient, Volume 1: Les femmes de Caire; Druses et Maronites by Nerval
"Voyage en Orient, Volume 1: Les femmes de Caire; Druses et Maronites" by Gérard de Nerval is a literary travel account published in 1851. This highly personal journey through the Orient blends Nerval's actual experiences in Egypt and Lebanon with oriental tales like the story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Symbolism and esotericism permeate this poetic construction, where the author seeks to uncover common origins among different civilizations. The work
captures both the reality of his travels and the literary fashions of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
