Contents Description:

In the autumn of 1849, at the age of twenty-seven, accompanied by his wealthier and worldlier friend, Maxime du Camp, Flaubert set off on a long tour of the "Orient" - the Near East - a region that had long haunted his young imagination. He kept a diary, much of whose exotic and erotic detail has hitherto remained unpublished, even in France. - from the inside cover
