Arabian Sands, Paperback/Wilfred Thesiger

Descriere & specificații

``Following worthily in the tradition of Burton, Lawrence, Philby and Thomas, Arabian Sands ] is, very likely, the book about Arabia to end all books about Arabia.`` -- The Daily Telegraph Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger's record of his extraordinary journey through the parched ``Empty Quarter`` of Arabia. Educated at Eton and Oxford, Thesiger was repulsed by the softness and rigidity of Western life--``the machines, the calling cards, the meticulously aligned streets.`` In the spirit of T. E. Lawrence, he set out to explore the deserts of Arabia, traveling among peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels. His now-classic account is invaluable to understanding the modern Middle East.
