O knihe

Du Camp's traveling companion Gustave
Flaubert once remarked: "I don't know why Maxime hasn't
killed himself with this raging mania for photography." The
Stillness of Hajj Ishmael explores this "mania" as a
manifestation of the cultural hypochondria typical of Du
Camp's time and social class,linking the general anxiety of
the age over the apparent demise of French culture with the
personal travails of Du Camp,who grew up an orphan. The book
explores the role played by Nubian sailor Hajj Ishmael inDu
Camp's photographs, travel writings,journals and novel as a
unique marker of a malaise simultaneously subjective and historical.
