Travels in Arabia Deserta, Vol. II (in Two Volumes)

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the author's remarkable journeys, this two-volume work captures English poet Charles Doughty's explorations of the Arabian deserts, showcasing his profound discoveries. Renowned for its lyrical prose reminiscent of the King James Bible, the narrative stands as a significant example of early 20th-century travel writing. T.E. Lawrence's endorsement in the 1920s revived interest in the text, leading to its republication, including a special introduction by Lawrence in this rare 1921 Cosimo edition.
