{"product_id":"the-camels-neighbor-andrew-moscrop-9781623719340","title":"The Camel's Neighbor: Travels and Travelers in Yemen","description":"In 2014, a coup d'騁at in Sanaa paved the way for a devastating conflict in Yemen. Andrew Moscrop, a physician, cancelled plans to return to the country that he had once called home. Instead, he returned to his diaries and delved into memories of a time when he lived in a rambling old tower house in Sanaa. As the war unfolded, he re-read the accounts of past travelers to the country. And while working in Greece, treating refugees from other Middle Eastern war zones, he began writing a book set in Yemen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamining the impressions of adventurers, merchants, and scientists, as well as travel writers, Moscrop explores how Yemen has been seen and understood by foreigners from Europe and the US. These visitors include blundering missionaries, aristocratic Englishmen, and unlikely spies. Moscrop delivers an intriguing perspective on Western encounters with the Islamic world, examining the imagery and clich駸 by which Yemen has been represented from the sixteenth century to the resent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvocative descriptions of Sanaa and its unique cityscape, as well as empathetic portrayals of people encountered and events experienced, all create a narrative by turns thoughtful and unexpected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Moscrop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623719348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623719340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interlink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/04\/2020 pg. 1","brand":"Andrew Moscrop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943688667391,"sku":"9781623719340","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_706db64e-f068-4003-9983-46eae907266e.jpg?v=1681499503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-camels-neighbor-andrew-moscrop-9781623719340","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
