A Visit to the Holy Land, Egypt, and Italy

Librivox recording of A Visit to the Holy Land, Egypt, and Italy by Ida Laura Pfeiffer, translated by H. W. Dulcken. Read by Sibella Denton. Ida Pfeiffer travelled alone in an era when women didn’t travel. She went first on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, then went on to Egypt and Italy. Understanding the difficulties a woman would face travelling alone and on a budget, she made a will before she left. Go she did, however; and upon her return she wrote this book. She used the proceeds to finance her next trip - six months in Iceland. (Summary by Sibella Denton) For further information, includin
