CHATEAUBRIAND F.: Itinéraire de Paris à Jérusalem et de Jérusalem à Paris en allant par la Grèce en revenant par l' Egypte... Paris, 1812 Third edition. In 8vo, contemporary full leather slightly rubbed. Complete in three volumes: half titles, titles, [110], 275 p., 408 p., 375 p., folding facsimile in Arabic, and one large folding map (76 x 50 cm) of the travel. Text clean. Overall very good condition. One of the classic Philhellenic works. Chateaubriand combined his experiences of travel in the Morea and Attica in 1806-7 with invented stories, weaving a strong philhellenism that promoted French enthusiasm for Greece. The success of his travel account paved the way for several later publications. A classical travel account for the Levant, this edition includes a huge and rare copper-engraved map.
