""Egypt: La Mort De Philae"" is a novel written by Pierre Loti, a French novelist and naval officer. The book is set in Egypt during the late 19th century and tells the story of a French naval officer who becomes infatuated with a local Egyptian woman. The officer, who remains unnamed, spends his days exploring the ancient ruins of Egypt, including the island of Philae, where he becomes enchanted with the temple of Isis. As he becomes more and more obsessed with the temple, he begins to neglect his duties and his relationships with his fellow officers. The novel explores themes of colonialism, cultural imperialism, and the clash between Western and Eastern cultures. It is a vivid and evocative portrayal of Egypt during this period, and a powerful reflection on the complexities of cross-cultural relationships.A city of mosques, then, as I was saying. They follow one another along the streets, sometimes two, three, four in a row; leaning one against the other, so that their confines become merged. On all sides their minarets shoot up into the air, those minarets embellished with arabesques, carved and complicated with the most changing fancy. They have their little balconies, their rows of little columns; they are so fashioned that the daylight shows through them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

1890. After joining the French Navy, Loti (pen name of Julien Marie Viaud) saw the world from shipboard. He spent long months among the palm groves of the South Seas; he visited the scorching coast of Senegal and the seas of Iceland. A prolific writer, Loti used every strange and exotic scene as a background for his romance novels. The book begins: In descending the coast of Africa, after passing the southern extremity of Morocco, one travels for several days and nights in sight of an interminable country of desolation. It is the Sahara, the great sea without water, which the Moors also call Beled-el-ateuch, the land of thirst. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Of the many novels written by Pierre Loti, one of his most endearing is The Iceland Fisherman. About a group of French fishermen who leave Brittany to fish in the rough but bountiful waters off the coast of Iceland, this book is as much about the struggles they face in the violent weather of the North Atlantic as it is about the heartbreak faced by those left behind. Full of vivid descriptions of life both at sea and on land, the range of emotions felt by these men of the sea has never been better captured--from the solitude and isolation after many weeks at sea, to the jubilations of returning home after many months away.

This tale of Breton peasant life, with its simple joys and sorrows, is beautifully told. There are grim and sordid scenes at Brest showing the temptations that lie in wait for the sailor as he comes ashore, and the sufferings of the wives living in the seaport, and of course there are characteristic description of the Breton country-side. Parallel with these there are descriptions of life in a warship during its cruise about the world.

A tale of amorous dalliance in Polynesia, this is the exotic romance par excellence. Set in Tahiti in 1872, it is an autobiographical novel that tells of the love affair between a beautiful island girl and the French naval officer who wrote under the name of Pierre Loti. It is a sensuous book, full of the stormy passions of young love, the adventure of being in a strange and mysterious country, the excitement of slipping away to tryst in secret glades, the bittersweet happiness of lovers who know they are fated to part. Containing some of the finest lyrical evocations of island life ever written, this is the book that fixed the romantic Polynesian idyll in the public imagination for all time.
