Description

Book Synopsis: 2015 Reprint of Original 1955 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Abridged by Edward Garnett. Long famous among scholars and students of Arab history and culture, readers of travel and adventure books, and lovers of English literature, Charles M. Doughty's "Travels in Arabia Deserta" is in its original form a formidable work of over 1,400 pages, a daunting length for many readers. This excellent abridgment, less than a quarter of that length, is ideally suited to a wide audience of general readers. Written after the author had spent two years wandering among the Bedouin nomads, the remarkable book describes Doughty's attempt to reach Mecca, his endurance of extraordinary hardships, and his first-hand observations of Arab life and culture in the 1870s. The work is as revered for the exceptional power and beauty of its prose as it is for its panoramic view of a fascinating and mysterious land. Originally published as "Passages from Arabia Deserta" by Horace Liveright, Inc., New York, 1931.
