In the case of a ship this excitement is shared by many thousands,\r\nwho have assembled to acclaim the birth of a perfected product of the\r\nindustry of man; the emotion is shared by all those who are present. It is\r\nvery different when a book has been completed. The launching has been\r\narranged for and completed by expert hands; she like the ship gathers way\r\nand slides forth into an ocean: but, unlike the ship which is certain to\r\nfloat, the waters may close over and engulf her, or perchance she may be\r\ntowed back to that haven of obscurity from which she emerged, to rust there\r\nin silence and neglect. There is excitement in the breast of one man\r\naloneto wit, the author. If his book possesses one supreme qualification\r\nshe will escape the fate mentioned, and this qualification isinterest. As\r\nthe weeks lengthened into months, andviii these multiplied themselves to the\r\ntale of something like twenty-four, the conviction was strengthened that\r\nthat which had so profoundly interested the writer, would not be altogether\r\nindifferent to others. For some inscrutable reason the deeds of sea-robbers\r\nhave always possessed a fascination denied to those of their more numerous\r\nbrethren of the land; and in the case of the Sea-wolves of the sixteenth\r\ncentury we are dealing with the very aristocrats of the profession.\r\nCircumstances over which they had no control flung the Moslem population of\r\nSouthern Spain on to the shores of Northern Africa: to revenge themselves\r\nupon the Christian foe by whom this expropriation had been accomplished was\r\nnatural to a warrior race; and those who heretofore had been land-folk pure\r\nand simple took to piracy as a means of livelihood. It is of the deeds of\r\nthese men that this book treats; of their marvellous triumphs, of their\r\napparently hopeless defeats, of the manner in which they audaciously\r\nmaintained themselves against the principalities and the powers of\r\nChristendom always hungering for their destruction.\nThe quality which Napoleon is said to have ascribed to the British\r\nInfantry, of never knowing when they were beaten, seems to have also\r\ncharacterised the Sea-wolves; as witness the marvellous recuperation of\r\nKheyr-ed-Din Barbarossaix when expelled from Tunis by Charles V.; and the\r\nescape of Dragut from the island of Jerba when apparently hopelessly\r\ntrapped by the Genoese admiral, Andrea Doria. All through their history the\r\nleaders of the Sea-wolves show the resourcefulness of the real seamen that\r\nthey had become by force of circumstances, and it was they who in the age\r\nin which they dwelt showed what sea power really meant. Sailing through the\r\nMediterranean on my way to Malta in the spring of this year, as the good\r\nship fared onwards I passed in succession all those lurking-places from\r\nwhich the Moslem Corsairs were wont to burst out upon their prey. Truly it\r\nseemed as if\nand in imagination one pictured the rush of the pirate galley, with its\r\nnaked slaves straining at the oar of their taskmasters, its fierce,\r\nreckless, beturbaned crew clustered on the rambades at the bow and stern.\r\nIt might be that they would capture some hapless round-ship, a\r\nmerchantman lumbering slowly along the coast; or again they might meet with\r\na galley of the terrible Knights of St. John or of the ever-redoubtable\r\nDoria. In either case the Sea-wolves were equal to their fortune, to\r\nplunder or to fight in the name of Allah and his prophet.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13689 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Currey, E.

On\r\nattentively studying the materials before me,\r\nhowever, I perceived that Mr. Richardson had\r\nwritten in most places with a view to publication;\r\nand that, had he lived, he would soon\r\nhave brought what, on a cursory examination,\r\nappeared a mere chaotic mass, into a shape\r\nthat would have accorded with his own idea\r\nof a book of travels. Such being the case, I\r\nthought it bestin order to leave the stamp of[vi]\r\nauthenticity on this singular record of enterpriseto\r\ndo little more than the author would himself\r\nhave done. In the form of a diary, thereforewritten\r\nsometimes with Oriental navetthe\r\nreader will here find what may be called the\r\ndomestic history of one of the most successful\r\nexpeditions undertaken for the exploration of\r\nCentral Africa. I believe it would have been\r\npossible to get up a work of more temporary\r\ninterest from the same materials; but this could\r\nonly have been done by sacrificing truthfulness\r\nof detail. In the present form, Mr. Richardson's\r\njournal will always remain as an authority on\r\nthe geography and present condition of a large\r\nportion of the Saharan desert, hitherto unvisited,\r\nat any rate undescribed.\nAs will be seen, the Mission was accompanied\r\nby two German gentlemen, Drs. Barth and Overwegthe\r\nformer, of whom I had the pleasure of\r\nmeeting in Egypt, after his enterprising ride\r\nalong the coast of Libya. They are still in\r\nCentral Africa, pushing their excursions on all\r\nsides, from Bornou into unknown tracts; and\r\nthe accounts they may publish on their return\r\nwill be anxiously looked for. The great traverse\r\nof the Saharan desert, however, with all its vicissitudes[vii]\r\nand dangers, the physical aspect of that\r\nwonderful region, and the manners of the various\r\ntribes that inhabit it, will, in the present volume,\r\nbe found to be fully describednot, it is true,\r\nwith much attempt at literary ornament, but in\r\nthe vivid though simple language in which a\r\nman sets down impressions which he has just\r\nreceived. I have endeavoured to remove all the\r\nfaults which may be supposed to have arisen\r\nfrom haste or carelessness, and have necessarily\r\nre-written several passages, and passed a correcting\r\npen over the whole manuscript. But I think\r\nI may say with confidence, that there is no observation\r\nor statement in the following pages which\r\ncannot be justified by a reference to the original\r\njournals and scattered memoranda.\nTo me this simple record of daily occurrences\r\nseems highly interesting. It divides\r\nitself, naturally, into a succession of parts of\r\nunequal importance. First comes an account\r\nof the journey to Mourzuk, the capital of Fezzan,\r\ncontaining the traverse of the frightful Hamadah\r\nor plateau which separates that province from\r\nthe regency of Tripoli. Then we have a residence\r\nat Mourzuk itself, Mr. Richardson being\r\nobliged to wait the arrival from Ght of an[viii]\r\nescort of Tuarick chieftains, with whom he had\r\npartly made acquaintance during a former trip\r\nin the desert. This escort appeared after some\r\ndelay; and the Mission proceeded across the\r\nFezzan plains to the independent state of Ght,\r\nthrough a very wild and picturesque country.\r\nAt this point began, if not the most arduous, at\r\nany rate the most dangerous, and at the same\r\ntime the most novel, part of the journey. Mr.\r\nRichardson had undertaken, on his way to Soudan\r\nProper (his first destination), to pass by the\r\nhitherto unexplored kingdom of Aheer or Asben,\r\nsituated towards the southern limits of the Sahara.\r\nThe march of the Mission across the\r\ndeserts that lie between Ght and that territory\r\nwas rendered exciting by continual reports of\r\ndanger from pursuing freebooters of the Haghar\r\nand Azgher tribes; but the enemy were outstripped,\r\nand no actual attack took place until\r\nthe first inhabited districts of Aheer were reached.\r\nHere some lawless tribes levied black-mail,\r\non the caravan, which was then permitted to\r\nproceed, though in doubt and alarm, until it\r\narrived under the long-expected protection of\r\nSheikh En-Noor, one of the great chiefs of the\r\nKailouee tribes, at his town, or rather encampment,[ix]\r\nof Tintalous. Mr. Richardson's residence\r\nat this place was long and tedious. He suffered,\r\nbesides, from the extortionate disposition of the\r\nSheikh or Sultan, who, however, after considerable\r\nexactions, became his friend. This Saharan\r\ncharacter is brought out by a succession of\r\namusing touches. But our traveller was impatient\r\nto proceed, and seems to have hailed\r\nwith delight the announcement that the great\r\nSalt-Caravan, which annually transports the necessary\r\ncondiment from Bilma vi Aheer to\r\nthe south, was about to start, and that the\r\nSheikh and the Christians were to accompany\r\nit. Some further disappointments occurred,\r\nbut at length the Mission proceeded to Damerghou,\r\nwhence Drs. Barth and Overweg went,\r\none to Maradee and the other to Kanou, whilst\r\nMr. Richardson proceeded alone to Zinder,\r\nsituated in the province of Damagram. Here\r\nhe was well received by the Sarkee, or Governor,\r\nand he dilates with well-founded exultation\r\non his escape from the insolent and\r\nrapacious Tuaricks. Sad sights, however, connected\r\nwith the slave-trade, checked his delight.\r\nDuring his stay the Sarkee went out in person\r\nto hunt down the subjects of his own sovereign,[x]\r\nthat he might pay his debts by selling them\r\ninto captivity. After another considerable delay\r\nMr. Richardson was enabled to start once more,\r\nand being obliged to change his original plan\r\nproceeded to Kuka, the capital of Bornou, by\r\nway of Minyo. Shortly after leaving Gurai,\r\nthe chief town of that province, the unfortunate\r\ntraveller found his strength to be gradually\r\ngiving way. He had already previously\r\ncomplained of the heat and fatigue, but did\r\nnot seem to have felt any great alarm. Now,\r\nhowever, the climate seems to have told upon\r\nhim with sudden and fatal violence. His last\r\nmoments are described in a letter from his\r\nfellow-traveller, Dr. Barth, who hastened to the\r\nspot with laudable energy as soon as he heard\r\nof the melancholy catastrophe that had taken\r\nplace. Mr. Richardson died at Ungurutua,\r\nabout six days' journey from Kuka, the capital\r\nof Bornou, on the 4th of March, 1851, eleven\r\nmonths after his departure from Tripoli.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17164 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Richardson, James \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 27, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Richardson, James,1806-1851 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217431593117,"sku":"gb-17164-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17164.jpg?v=1671431720"},{"product_id":"von-tripolis-nach-alexandrien-1-band-gb-17599","title":"Von Tripolis nach Alexandrien - 1.

Die Araber, diese guten Geographen, rechnen\r\nzu Barca, denn so nennen sie, was die Alten und\r\nwir mit Cyrenaica bezeichnen, das Land, was von dem\r\nMeere im Norden und Westen einerseits, im Sden vom\r\nFareg und der Wste, im Osten von Akabat el kebir\r\nandererseits, umringt wird.

From the days when Barbarossa defied the\r\nwhole strength of the Emperor Charles V., to the\r\nearly part of the present century, when prizes were\r\ntaken by Algerine rovers under the guns, so to say,\r\nof all the fleets of Europe, the Corsairs were masters\r\nof the narrow seas, and dictated their own terms to\r\nall comers. Nothing but the creation of the large\r\nstanding navies of the present age crippled them;\r\nnothing less than the conquest of their too convenient\r\ncoasts could have thoroughly suppressed\r\nthem. During those three centuries they levied\r\nblackmail upon all who had any trading interest in\r\nthe Mediterranean. The Venetians, Genoese, Pisans\r\nin older days; the English, French, Dutch, Danish,\r\nSwedish, and American Governments in modern\r\ntimes, purchased security by the payment of a[Pg4]\r\nregular tribute, or by the periodical presentation of\r\ncostly gifts. The penalty of resistance was too well\r\nknown to need exemplification; thousands of Christian\r\nslaves in the bagnios at Algiers bore witness\r\nto the consequences of an independent policy. So\r\nlong as the nations of Europe continued to quarrel\r\namong themselves, instead of presenting a united line\r\nof battle to the enemy, such humiliations had to be\r\nendured; so long as a Corsair raid upon Spain suited\r\nthe policy of France; so long as the Dutch, in their\r\njealousy of other states, could declare that Algiers\r\nwas necessary to them; there was no chance of the\r\nplague subsiding; and it was not till the close of\r\nthe great Napoleonic wars that the Powers agreed,\r\nat the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1818, to act\r\ntogether, and do away with the scourge of Christendom.\r\nAnd even then little was accomplished till\r\nFrance combined territorial aggrandizement with the\r\nrle of a civilizing influence.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 22169 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Kelley, J.

Once the vanguard leader, the Parisian avant-garde now considered him passé. His important early collectors, including Gertrude and Leo Stein, had stopped buying his work and were fully championing Picasso, and he had exhibited little in the last few years. In the face of Cubism that was now dominating the art scene, Matisse needed to get away from Paris in order to advance his distinctive artistic vision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlmost on a whim, he went to Tangier. Matisse had already been profoundly inspired by Islamic art, and was primed for his arrival in the Moroccan city where such art was integrated into everyday life.

The conquered territory was larger than the Roman Empire at its greatest expansion, and it was claimed for the Arabs in roughly half the time. How they were able to engulf so many empires, states, and armies in such a short period of time is a question which has engaged historians since at least the ninth century. Most recent popular accounts have been based almost solely on the early Muslim sources, which were, in short, salvation history, composed for the purpose of demonstrating that God had chosen the Arabs as his vehicle for spreading Islam throughout the world. \u003cbr\u003eWhile exploiting the rich biographical and geographical information of the early Muslim sources, this groundbreaking work delivers a fresh account of the Arab conquests and the establishment of an Islamic Empire by incorporating different approaches and different bodies of evidence. Robert G. Hoyland, a leading Late Antique scholar, accomplishes this by first examining the wider world from which Mohammed and his followers emerged. For Muslim sources, the revelation of Islam to Muhammad is the starting point for their history, and modern university departments have tended to reinforce this approach. Late Antique studies have done us the service of shedding much needed light on the 4th to 6th centuries, thus giving us a better view of the nature of Middle Eastern society in the decades before the Arab conquests. In particular, Hoyland narrates the emergence of a distinct Arab identity in the region of the Roman province Arabia and western (Saudi) Arabia, which is at least as important for explaining the Arab conquests as Muhammad's revelation. The Arabs are the principal, almost sole, focus of the Muslim conquest narratives, and this is the norm for modern works on this subject. Yet, in the same period the Khazars, Bulgars, Avars and Turks established polities on the edges of the superpowers of Byzantium and Iran; in fact, the Khazars and Turks continued to be major rivals of the Arabs in the seventh and eighth centuries.

On a narrow plain near the Southern Italian town of Cannae, despite outnumbering their opponents almost two to one, a massive Roman army was crushed by the heterogeneous forces of Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who had spectacularly crossed the Alps into Italy two years earlier. The scale of the losses at Cannae -- 50,000 Roman men killed -- was unrivaled until the industrialized slaughter of the First World War. Although the Romans eventually recovered and Carthage lost the war, the Battle of Cannae became Romans' point of reference for all later military catastrophes.

Founded in the ninth century BCE as a small colonial outpost, by the third, it had grown into the area's largest, richest empire. When, inevitably, it clashed with Rome for supremacy over the region, the conflict spanned over one century, three wars, and forty-three years of active fighting. After Carthage fell at last, the city was razed, and the tale of its defeat became a mere foundation stone in Rome's legend. But in this landmark new history--the first in over a decade--rising-star ancient historian Eve MacDonald restores the story of Carthage and its people to its rightful place in the history of the ancient world, reclaiming a lost culture long overshadowed by Roman mythmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on brand-new archaeological analysis to uncover the history behind the legend, MacDonald takes readers on a journey from the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the shores of Africa. She reveals ancient Carthage as a cosmopolitan city not only of extraordinary wealth and brave warriors, but also of staggering beauty and technological sophistication. Home to Hannibal and Dido, to war elephants and vast fleets, at its height Carthage commanded one of the ancient world's greatest navies and controlled territory spanning the coast of northwestern Africa to modern-day Spain, Sardinia, Sicily, and beyond. In gripping narrative, MacDonald shows how and why the Romans came to so fear Carthage, as one of the few rivals ever to inflict multiple defeats upon them--and what the world lost when it was finally gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReclaimed from the Romans, \u003cem\u003eCarthage\u003c\/em\u003e is a dramatic tale from the other side of history--revealing that, without Carthage, there would be no Rome, and no modern world as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eve MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.

But his adolescence is anything but typical. Born to a Syrian father and a French mother, Riad spent much of his early childhood in Libya, rural Syria, and France--moving through contrasting worlds, political ideologies, and daily absurdities. Years earlier, his father--charismatic, authoritarian, and obsessed with dictators and with building a utopian Arab society--abducted Riad's second younger brother, Fadi, and returned to Syria, leaving behind a fractured family. \u003cp\u003eAt 14, Riad navigates puberty, isolation, and the pressures of French society, while haunted by the absence of his father and brother, and the sadness of his mother. He turns to books, heavy metal, and drawing as refuge. The tone is darkly comic and sharply observant, capturing both the universal pains of adolescence and the surreal contradictions of the 1990s. Blending personal story and social commentary, this standalone volume offers a biting, poignant portrait of a young man coming of age in a world that feels both familiar and foreign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe End of the Arab of the Future\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book in a two-volume series that concludes the critically acclaimed autobiographical graphic novel begun in \u003cem\u003eArab of the Future\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Riad Sattouf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.86w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798875002373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSattouf, Riad:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRiad Sattouf\u003c\/strong\u003e is a French-Syrian cartoonist and filmmaker.
