Voyages dans la basse et la haute Egypte; pendant les campagnes de Bonaparte en 1798 et 1799, un livre classique, a été considéré comme important tout au long de l'histoire humaine, et pour que cet ouvrage ne soit jamais oublié, nous, aux éditions Alpha, nous sommes efforcés de le préserver en republiant ce livre dans un format moderne pour les générations présentes et futures. Tout ce livre a été reformaté, retapé et conçu. Ces livres ne sont pas constitués de copies numérisées de leur travail original et, par conséquent, le texte est clair et lisible.
Vivant Denon (1747-1825), a dilettante and diplomat under the Ancien Regime, survived the Revolution and accompanied Napoleon's army to Egypt. The publication in 1802 of this lively, illustrated three-volume account (translated a year later) is regarded as the chief stimulus for the so-called 'Egyptian Revival' style of architecture and interior design.
