The fad had invaded the arts, design, and the home decor of the upper classes. For Flaubert, like for many of his fellow Frenchmen, the Orient, as it was often called, was a source of endless fascination, but visiting wouldn\u2019t be easy on his wallet or his waistline. It was an arduous journey: from mail coach to riverboat to railway then finally to a room aboard an ungainly and fragile boat named <em>Le Nil<\/em>, which was equipped with a sail, a tall funnel, and a pair of paddle wheels. \u201cThe ugly little ship staggered the length of the Mediterranean like a drunkard,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2001\/oct\/27\/highereducation.news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writes Geoffery Wall<\/a>, author of <em>Flaubert: A Life<\/em>. After\u00a0eleven days on board <em>Le Nil<\/em>, Flaubert arrived in Alexandria, where he found himself overwhelmed by the noise of the animals, the scents of the food, and, above all, the colors. \u201cI gobbled up a bellyful of color, like a donkey filling himself with oats,\u201d he writes. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/1995\/08\/10\/here-we-are-in-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another letter<\/a>, dated 1850, he\u00a0compares the country to being alive in \u201cthe middle of one of Beethoven\u2019s symphonies \u2026 For the first few days, may the devil take me, it\u2019s an astounding hubbub of color, and your poor old imagination, as if it were at a fireworks display, is perpetually dazzled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2018\/02\/13\/eau-de-nil-light-green-color-egypt-obsessed-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\"
