Coles Carthage and Tunis, the old and new gates of the Orient (Volume I) at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

Stand on the threshold where Africa meets the Mediterranean, and where empires left their marks in stone and story. Dust, sunlight, and antiquity speak. In Carthage and Tunis, the old and new gates of the Orient (Volume I), Douglas Sladen offers a richly observed Victorian travelogue that moves between the Carthage ruins and history and the living streets of Tunis, capturing 19th century Tunisia with a reporter's eye and a literary ear. Part public domain travel classic, part cultural record, this is orientalist travel literature at its most detailed: landscapes, daily life, and the textures of Tunisian culture and customs set alongside reflections sparked by north Africa archaeology. Sladen writes at a moment when modernity and tradition press closely together, making the book valuable both for armchair travel readers and for Mediterranean history students tracing the afterlife of antiquity. If you come for Punic wars history books and the long shadow of Rome, you will also find a vivid portrait of Tunisia, North Africa as it was encountered and interpreted by a late-Victorian traveller. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
