Viac o knihe

The narrative captures English poet Charles Doughty's remarkable journeys through the Arabian deserts, showcasing his discoveries and experiences. Renowned for its lyrical prose and comprehensive detail, this work set a standard for ambitious travel literature in the early 20th century. Written in a style reminiscent of the King James Bible, it combines extravagance with creativity. T.E. Lawrence's endorsement in the 1920s revitalized interest in the book, leading to its republication, including a rare 1921 edition featuring his introduction.
