Penned in the 1820s but not published until 1901, Fenton's Journal is an intimate portrait of the lives of European expatriates in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Written by a witness to the heyday of Empire, but read by those who were soon to experience its decline, Fenton's diary leads readers from Calcutta to Tasmania. The focus is domestic and relates 'a familiar picture of the everyday occurrences, manners and habits of life of persons undistinguished either by wealth or fame', but it is this informality that makes Fenton's account especially engaging. The reader remains with the author intermittently until her return to the family's English home. Together, her contrasting accounts of exotic foreign lands and the 'dull and downright reality' of Britain provide a rare insight into the life of an adventurous woman.

In this early twenty-first century, the cycle of instability in the Middle East that began in 2003 and accelerated in 2011 has taken on a particularly dangerous dimension. We have the impression that we are in a new situation. But the reality is that the Middle East experienced, over the course of the nineteenth century, what was then called the Eastern Crises. Since 2003, Henri Lawrence has held the position of Professor of the Contemporary History of the Arab World at the College de France. He is the author of more than twenty historical works, especially "The Question of Palestine" (ten parts), which is the first real synthesis of one of the major questions of our time.
