Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''The Great Canal at Suez V2'' is a comprehensive historical account of the construction of the Suez Canal, one of the most significant engineering feats of the 19th century. Written by Percy Fitzgerald, the book explores the political, engineering, and financial aspects of the project, as well as the struggles faced by its visionary, Ferdinand de Lesseps. The book delves into the early history of the canal, including the failed attempts by previous rulers to construct a waterway connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. It then follows the story of Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French diplomat who successfully secured the support of the Egyptian government and European investors to fund the project. Fitzgerald provides a detailed account of the engineering challenges faced by the construction team, including the use of innovative techniques such as steam-powered dredgers and massive earth-moving equipment. He also explores the political and financial obstacles that threatened to derail the project, including opposition from rival European powers and the outbreak of the Crimean War.Throughout the book, Fitzgerald offers insights into the complex relationships between the various stakeholders involved in the project, including the Egyptian government, European investors, and the workers who toiled under difficult conditions to build the canal. Overall, ''The Great Canal at Suez V2'' is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most significant engineering achievements of the modern era, and the visionary individuals who made it possible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
