At once a classic of travel literature and a penetrating portrait of a 'sensibility on tour', Flaubert in Egypt wonderfully captures the young writer's impressions during his 1849 voyages. Using diaries, letters, travel notes, and the evidence of Flaubert's travelling companion, Maxime Du Camp, Francis Steegmuller reconstructs his journey through the bazaars and brothels of Cairo and down the Nile to the Red Sea.

Amin! it is a most sigaificant expression—the very acme of Oriental fatalism." " Very well," was my reply; " but I will let your Highness into the secret why 1 exclaimed Malesh, and how the Corve"e business is managed iiow-a- days. THE CORVEE, My Prince, is one of the oldest institutions in Egypt. It dates as far back as the time of Sesostris, who, when he returned with a legion of captives from his victorious campaigns, formed them into a Corvee, and made them work in gangs at the public works—for instance, constructing the canals, and erecting those stupendous monuments and structures, to inspect the ruins of which so many of the savans of all European nations visit Egypt.

But things have scarcely changed for the better since his day. Many of the Viceroys who succeeded him regarded th e Fellahs in the light of a gang of galley slaves, and made them work not only for nothing but also confiscated the property which they had acquired by the sweat oftheir brow; made them pay most heavy taxes, and in short stripped their villages of almost every para they could lay their hands upon.
