Summary: "In the Levant" by Charles Dudley Warner is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's observations and experiences during a journey through the Levant region, including historical and cultural reflections on places like Jaffa and Jerusalem. It provides a vivid depiction of both the ancient and contemporary aspects of the region, touching upon the rich tapestry of history that characterizes this significant part of the world. The beginning of "In the Levant" introduces the reader to Warner's voyage from Jaffa to Jerusalem in April 1875, vividly describing the challenges of disembarking due to the lack of a proper harbor. As he arrives in Jaffa, Warner sketches a historical backdrop, referencing biblical figures such as Jonah and examining the town's significance over the centuries. He introduces his companions on the journey, including his dragoman, Mohammed Abd-el-Atti, and the Abyssinian servant, Ahman Abdallah. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and historical context, Warner sets the stage for his explorations, immersing readers in the vibrant, chaotic atmosphere of Jaffa while hinting at the profound historical remnants that await in Jerusalem.
