In the Steps of St. Paul

Informationen zum Autor Henry Vollam Morton was born in 1892 near Manchester, England. He became an international celebrity by scooping the world's press in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. His newfound fame subsequently led to a series of extraordinarily popular vignettes on English city and country life, which went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. He died in South Africa in 1979 at the age of eighty-six. Klappentext From the travel writer whom Jan Morris has called "the much-loved master of the genre! often imitated but never matched." H. V. Morton peerlessly evokes the sights! the splendors! and the drama of history for tourists and armchair travelers alike. Zusammenfassung In the Steps of St. Paul dazzlingly retraces the apostle's famed journey of faith through Israel, Greece, and Italy, using the Bible itself as a guide. With an ear for good stories and an eye alert to detail, Morton creates a compulsively readable narrative that will satisfy the most curious traveler as well as the most informed and passionate reader of the Bible.
