Voyage en Orient was one of the famouse works of French writer and poet Gerard de Nerval ,published in 1851, resulting from his extended hashish-filled trip of 1842 to Cairo and Beirut. It must have puzzled readers of conventional travel books, for it retells Oriental tales like Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, in terms of the artist and the act of creation.

The texts of "Voyage" include:

  • "History of the Caliph Hakim" .
