| Summary | "Reis door Nubië" by E. Amélineau is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This text captures the author’s experiences and observations while journeying through Nubia, an area rich in ancient history and diverse cultures. The book provides insights into the transformations occurring in Nubia due to British colonization and highlights the contrasts between the local traditions and the influences of imperial powers. In the narrative, Amélineau recounts his journey from Abydos to Aswan and further into Nubia, emphasizing the remarkable changes he witnesses in the landscape and society. He describes the once purely Egyptian character of towns, now filled with European travelers and modern amenities, juxtaposed with the harsh realities faced by local laborers, including forced laborers building infrastructures. Through detailed descriptions of the natural scenery, cultural customs, and historical sites—like the temples at Abu Simbel—the author reflects on the complex interplay between the glories of ancient Egyptian civilization and the struggles of modern Nubians. He expresses a deep respect for the beauty of the region while acknowledging its socio-political challenges, painting a nuanced picture of the life and landscape of Nubia.
