      About the Book

      Edit

      Shortly after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb on 4 November 1922, the Belgian author and Nobel Prize winner Maurice Maeterlinck visited Egypt in the spring of 1924, via a Mediterranean cruise that also took him to Greece and Lebanon, a ‘second honeymoon’ with his young wife Renée Dahon. In his travelogue Maeterlinck writes only about Egypt, giving the reader almost no details about his journey as such – he was among the first to see some of the young pharao’s treasures - but mainly reflections on daily life, religion and culture, as a would-be Egyptologist. The work appeared first in London in 1925, and later in Paris: 'En Egypte. Notes de voyage', 1928. This is a reprint of the original English edition, on the 100 th anniversary of the opening of Tutankhamun’s tomb.

      Kort na de ontdekking van het graf van Toetanchamon op 4 november 1922 bezocht Nobelprijswinnaar Maurice Maeterlinck in de lente van 1924 Egypte, via een cruise op de Middellandse Zee die hem ook in Griekenland en Syrië bracht, een ‘tweede huwelijksreis’ met zijn jonge echtgenote Renée Dahon. In zijn reisverhaal schrijft de auteur enkel over Egypte, vrijwel zonder details over zijn verblijf als dusdanig – als een der eersten zag hij enkele van de vondsten uit het graf van de jonge farao - , maar vooral met diepgaande beschouwingen over de Egyptische geschiedenis, religie en cultuur. Het werk verscheen eerst in Londen in 1925 en pas in 1928 in Parijs: 'En Egypte. Notes de voyage'. Dit is een herdruk van de originele Engelstalige uitgave, naar aanleiding van de 100ste verjaardag van de opening van Toetanchamons graf.
