Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface by the Translator, country the writer would have spurned the offer ;but Morocc Oythe land of darkness and mystery that was another thing ;he accepted and gave us another of his pleasant books Au Maroc The reader who expects to find in Loti tables of distances political disquisitions or essays on commerce and trade statistics will be disappointed for these subjects and all allied to them he holds in supreme contempt. He states his creed very explicitly in his introduction to Morocco. Notwithstanding this apparent inattention to detail, however, it will be found that he is a close observer yotherwise he could not give such vivid and faithful pictures of the scenes that he describes. He not only sees, but feels; and when, to this faculty, there is added a poetic imagination and an unequaled power of word-painting, it is not surprising that his books are considered very charming reading. It is doubtful if there is any other traveler who has the power to tJJ ipress his reader as he does with a sense of verisimilitude ;his word-pictures are so warm, so glowing, that one feels they 7nust be true. Let the reader who is disposed to mount with him his brown, broad-chested horse, with flying mane and tail, decide how faithfully he keeps the promise with which he concludes his preface to the present volume.
