Excerpt from Into Morocco
What I have to say requires a few words of preface, for which I may be pardoned, as it is my first offence in that line. I wish to say a few words of warning to the large number of people for whom my book was not written. No one need expect to find in it dissertations on the political condition of Morocco, on its future, or on what is to be done to bring it into harmony with the modern movement; in the first place, these considerations have no interest for me, and then, what is more important, my reflections, to what small extent they have been carried, are directly opposed to common sense.
Circumstances gave me a close insight into the government of the country, and its court and harems, but I have been careful not to make my reflections public (while approving of everything in my inner consciousness), for fear of the brawlings that might arise among the witless.

Vendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through Morocco in the late 19th century. The author, a seasoned traveller, immerses us in the sights, sounds, and smells of this exotic land, far from the bustle and conventions of Europe. We experience the colourful spectacle of a Sultanââ â¢s caravan, witness the intricate rituals of the local tribes, and marvel at the stark beauty of the Moroccan landscape. The authorââ â¢s writing is evocative, bringing to life the vibrant colours, the rich culture, and the unyielding spirit of the people he encounters. The author's journey, in addition to being a personal adventure, provides a fascinating glimpse into a culture on the brink of change. The world of the Sultan and his court exists in stark contrast to the modern world. This book captures the tension between a timeless, ancient way of life and the encroaching influence of the West, a theme that resonated deeply with late 19th century audiences and remains relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332344987_0
