About the Book

""Five Years in Damascus"" is a travelogue written by Josias Leslie Porter about his experiences in Syria during the mid-nineteenth century. The book is divided into four parts, each detailing Porter's travels and research in different regions of Syria. In the first part, Porter describes his time in Damascus, where he lived for five years and worked as a missionary. He provides a detailed account of the city's history, culture, and architecture, as well as his interactions with its diverse population. In the second part, Porter travels to Palmyra, an ancient city located in the Syrian desert. He describes the ruins of the city and its history, including its importance as a trade center on the Silk Road. The third part of the book focuses on Porter's travels through Lebanon, where he visited the cities of Beirut and Sidon. He describes the natural beauty of the region, as well as its history and culture. The final part of the book details Porter's travels through the regions of Bashan and Hauran, which were known for their giant cities and ancient ruins. He provides a detailed account of his visits to these sites, as well as his interactions with the local Bedouin tribes. Overall, ""Five Years in Damascus"" is a fascinating account of one man's travels and research in Syria during a tumultuous period in its history. Porter's writing is engaging and informative, providing readers with a unique glimpse into the culture, history, and geography of this fascinating region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
