Hogarth, later Keeper of the Ashmolean and mentor to T. E. Lawrence, recalls twenty years of travel and excavation around the eastern Mediterranean. He wanders Lycia and the Satalian Gulf, digs in Crete and the Nile fens, sails to Cyrene on an American yacht and explores the Sajur in Syria, with shrewd notes on the peasants, officials and fellow scholars he met.
