from Overlook TP
Price: $9.20

Customer Review:
Very much a British Arabist travelogue, and as Sir Charles Doughty, Sir Richard Burton, Wilfred Thesiger, Freya Stark, and T.E. Lawrence-- and perhaps less fervently so Jonathan Raban-- have demonstrated the past century-and-a-half, Mackintosh-Smith takes the trouble to enter the culture. He learns... more info

Customer Review:
A travel memoir written in the late 1930s - and 1000 years ago. It's a beautifully written, gentle book of a harsh land and its tribal peoples. Stark, is both poet and pragmatist.

Freya Stark is a writer of incomparable English prose. All her writing is infused with depth and sensitivity, and completely lacking in the typical bored/sniffy American or European point of view. I would recommend this book to everyone across the world who has an interest in brilliant commentary.
