In Morocco (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419125782)

""In Morocco"" is a travelogue written by Edith Wharton, an American author and Pulitzer Prize winner. The book describes Wharton's journey through Morocco in the early 20th century, where she explores the country's culture, customs, and people. The author provides a vivid and detailed account of her experiences, from the bustling markets of Tangier to the quiet villages of the Atlas Mountains. She also delves into the political and social issues of the time, including the impact of French colonialism on the country. Wharton's writing style is elegant and insightful, and her observations offer a unique perspective on a country that was relatively unknown to Western audiences at the time. Overall, ""In Morocco"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in travel, culture, and history.We passed through a gate and were confronted by other ramparts. Then we entered an outskirt of dusty red lanes bordered by clay hovels with draped figures slinking by like ghosts. After that more walls, more gates, more endlessly winding lanes, more gates again, more turns, a dusty open space with donkeys and camels and negroes; a final wall with a great door under a lofty arch--and suddenly we were in the palace of the Bahia, among flowers and shadows and falling water.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
