1998013The Highlands of Ethiopiahttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-highlands-of-ethiopia/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/886936/92d0cea5-833e-41be-9ef4-c773deca242c.jpg?v=6388878828705000003939MXNDigiCatInStock/Ebooks/<p>In "The Highlands of Ethiopia," William Cornwallis Sir Harris presents a captivating exploration of Ethiopias mountainous landscapes, delving into the rich tapestry of its culture, geography, and history. Written in the early 19th century, the book melds vivid descriptions with scientific observation, revealing the rugged beauty of the region while providing insights into the sociopolitical dynamics and the local populace. Harriss literary style is characterized by an acute attention to detail, employing a narrative that oscillates between travelogue and ethnographic study, thereby situating his work within the broader context of colonial exploration literature of his era. William Cornwallis Sir Harris was not only an astute observer but also a man of significant experience, having served as the British consul in Ethiopia. His background and extensive travels throughout Africa undoubtedly shaped his perspectives and fueled his passion for documenting the intricate relationships between environment, culture, and identity. As a contemporary of explorers such as Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke, Harris was compelled to contribute to the burgeoning interest in the African continent, all while navigating the complexities of imperial ambition. I recommend "The Highlands of Ethiopia" to readers who seek to understand the convergence of adventure, ethnography, and history in one of Africas most enigmatic regions. Harriss work not only enriches the canon of travel literature but also offers a rare glimpse into the lives and landscapes of Ethiopia, making it an indispensable resource for historians, geographers, and literary enthusiasts alike.</p>...1960872The Highlands of Ethiopia3939https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-highlands-of-ethiopia/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/886936/92d0cea5-833e-41be-9ef4-c773deca242c.jpg?v=638887882870500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547013495_W3siaWQiOiI0YThiNDZmNC1mMTk2LTQ3NzUtYTU3OC05NDdkOTg4MjVkZjIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjJUMTE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547013495_<p>The Highlands of Ethiopia is a memoir of Sir William Cornwallis Harris. In this book, he describes his journey as the first British Ambassador to the Christian Court of the Kingdom of Shoa in the highlands of Aethiopia, ruled at the time by Sahela Selassie.
