Anthony Sattin illuminates the passions and intrigues of an extraordinary cast of characters in Egypt. Ever since the first intrepid European explorers ventured up the Nile, an eclectic crowd of tourists, soldiers, fortune-seekers, tomb-raiders and empire-builders has travelled to Egypt. Whether sparked by its rich history and compelling landscapes, the elusive ruins of a once-magnificent civilisation or the country’s strategic importance in world politics, the west’s fascination with Egypt has flourished over the past two centuries. From Florence Nightingale to Lord Nelson, Giovanni Belzoni to Howard Carter, Somerset Maugham to E.M. Forster and Gustave Flaubert to Noel Coward, they scrambled up the pyramids, floated down the Nile, partied on the terrace of Shepheard’s Hotel, plotted, ransacked, lived, loved and were forever changed by their experience – as Egypt was by them. Lifting the Veil is a fast-paced narrative, richly adorned with gossip, anecdote and adventure.
