A Morocco Anthology: Travel Writing Through the Centuries
Martin Rose
(Editor)
Description
Morocco is a country that has been much invaded, much traveled though, and much written about in many languages. Positioned at the entrance to Africa--or the entrance to Europe--it has seen deep cultural cross-fertilization and the emergence of a very distinct culture at the threshold of two worlds. Its history is exciting and colorful; its ancient cities extraordinary in their preservation; and its people magnetic. It has drawn travelers and writers for many centuries, and continues to do so today, with the result that there exists a rich seam of description and sometimes quizzical (but generally very fond) appreciation, which Martin Rose, a long-time resident of the country, has been able to mine for this fascinating anthology.
