4.9/5 (12168 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Barbary Coast Many years ago I met in the heart of India a German missionary, who had not seen his native country in forty years. At last the way was opened, and he hasted across the sea to look upon the Fatherland once more before his eyes should close in death. But the visit was a disappointment, and he returned, saying with true German simplicity, "Europe is too narrow for me!" We smile at this, but might we not ask in all soberness, "Why Europe only?" Why indeed, when at Gibraltar we are in sight of an older continent, and even from Marseilles it is but a day's sail to Algiers, where we - are in another world, under other skies, and among other races of men - a quarter of the globe that is old and yet new, as it is still a field of discovery; so that it has at once the charm of the known and the unknown, of history and of mystery? I have been four times in Africa: twice in Egypt (once up the Nile), and twice on the Barbary Coast; and each visit increases the fascination. In the perfect winter climate one lives in the open air, and I sit under the palms and see the world pass by. The picturesque life of the people is a study for an artist.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
