Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Nightingale, well known for her dedication to and reform of nursing, was also a prolific letter writer. In November 1849 she spent five months sailing from Alexandria to Abu Simbel and back. On that journey she wrote many letters to her family in England, vividly and in great detail describing the ruins, the environment, the lives of the people, and the politics of Egypt. The letters were "circulated" by her sister in 1854 and are now published for the first time. Many sketches and colored paintings of 19th-century Egypt appropriately illustrate the narrative. A visually and intellectually satisfying book recommended to academic and large public libraries. Kathleen Farago, Lakewood P.L., Ohio

A different view of Nightingale
13. Juni 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I haven't read any biographies of Nightingale but this book certainly provides a view of her that you won't get from the standard myths about her.
She was driven and deeply religious and I sometimes had the feeling that her later advocacy for nursing reform had more to do with her belief in a mission from God than a concern for fellow human beings.
The most memorable quote I remember from her Egyptian letters was something about how wonderful Egypt was...if it wasn't for the Egyptians. She had no feeling for or interest in the poor Egyptian classes and made typically-Victorian bigoted remarks about them.
Her descriptions of the land and the sights are sometimes inspired but overall, I came away with little liking for Nightingale as a person.
