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