QR code
"Le Tour du Monde; d'Alexandrette au coude de l'Euphrate" by Various is a collection of travel writings published in the early 20th century. The compilation focuses on the journey of the author, Victor Chapot, as he explores the geographical, cultural, and historical aspects of regions from Alexandrette (modern-day İskenderun) to the Euphrates River. Travelling through parts of Syria and Mesopotamia, the text is rich in observations and reflections on the landscapes and
communities encountered along the way. The opening of the work begins with the author's arrival in Alexandrette, where he expresses a mixture of unease and curiosity about the port city. Chapot sets out to document traces of ancient civilizations in a land that feels neglected in the modern era. He describes his experiences on landing, from navigating customs filled with suspiciousness to encountering local customs and the daily rhythms of life in Alexandrette. As he prepares to venture through the surrounding regions—venturing to Antioche and beyond—he foreshadows his adventure of not just physical travel, but also a mental journey into the history and identity of the landscapes he traverses, establishing an immersive narrative that blends geography with personal reflection.
