Amurath to Amurath by Gertrude Lowthian Bell
"Amurath to Amurath" by Gertrude Lowthian Bell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire during a time of significant political change and revolution, capturing the spirit of the era through the author's travels in the Near East. Bell's experiences and observations detail the lives and sentiments of the local populations while navigating through historically rich locations, such as Aleppo
and the Euphrates River, shedding light on the complexities of governance, identity, and cultural intersection. The opening of the book introduces the readers to the bustling city of Aleppo, where the author engages with local figures in a lively bazaar scene, offering a glimpse into the day-to-day life and commerce during her travels. Through her interactions, readers learn about the prevailing sentiment of change among the people as they transition from an oppressive regime to a more liberated atmosphere following the Young Turkish Revolution. Bell reflects on the frustrations and aspirations of the local populace while illustrating the tangible historical elements resonant in the architecture and cultural practices of Aleppo, suggesting a deep connection between past and present—a theme that seems to permeate her journey through the Middle East.
