DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Voyage to Abyssinia Jeronimo Lobo was born in Lisbon in the year 1593. He entered the Order of the Jesuits at the age of sixteen. After passing through the studies by which Jesuits were trained for missionary work, which included special attention to the arts of speaking and writing, Father Lobo was sent as a missionary to India at the age of twenty-eight, in the year 1621. He reached Goa, as his book tells, in 1622, and was in 1624, at the age of thirty-one, told off as one of the missionaries to be employed in the conversion of the Abyssinians. They were to be converted, from a form of Christianity peculiar to themselves, to orthodox Catholicism. The Abyssinian Emperor Segued was protector of the enterprise, of which we have here the story told. Father Lobo was nine years in Abyssinia, from the age of thirty-one to the age of forty, and this was the adventurous time of his life. The death of the Emperor Segued put an end to the protection that had given the devoted missionaries, in the midst of dangers, a precarious hold upon their work. When he and his comrades fell into the hands of the Turks at Massowah, his vigour of body and mind, his readiness of resource, and his fidelity, marked him out as the one to be sent to the headquarters in India to secure the payment of a ransom for his companions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland by Samuel Johnson is without a doubt the travel writing genre's most well-known and much-debated work (1775). But this chapter mostly focuses on Johnson's previous A Voyage to Abyssinia and just briefly mentions his travels in Scotland (1735). The book contains Johnson's most in-depth reflection on the function and ethics of the traveler, although he never visited Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia), and the text is a translation of a travelogue written by the Portuguese Jesuit Jerónimo Lobo on his journeys in Ethiopia between 1621 and 1634. (and travel writer). He also takes into account the dangerous confluence of travel and religion, as well as the narrow line between exploration and dominance. Following a brief introduction to Johnson and his travel works, this chapter explores the intricate history of A Voyage to Abyssinia and demonstrates how Johnson, through the travelogue's significant Preface and other changes, adds his vivid layer of meaning to the Portuguese original material. Johnson admires Lobo as a travel writer because of his honest and objective firsthand description of his travels, but he also consistently criticizes travel that is undertaken to demonstrate the superiority of a certain culture or confession or the might of a particular deity.
