On Mediterranean Shores

On Mediterranean Shores is a travelogue written by Emil Ludwig, a German author and biographer, originally published in 1938. The book is a collection of essays that describe Ludwig's travels along the Mediterranean coast, from Gibraltar to the Levant. Through his vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Ludwig captures the essence of the region, its culture, history, and people. He delves into the ancient civilizations that flourished along the Mediterranean, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians, and their lasting influence on the region's art, architecture, and customs. Ludwig also reflects on the political and social issues of the time, including the rise of fascism in Europe and the tensions between Arab and Jewish communities in Palestine. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and maps, and Ludwig's writing style is engaging and informative, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the Mediterranean region and its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
