Description
A classic of travel writing, In Morocco is Wharton’s account of a journey through the country’s cities and through its deserts. “Within a few years more will be known of the past of Morocco, but that past will be far less visible to the traveller than it is today. Excavations will reveal fresh traces of Roman and Phoenician occupation; the remote affinities between Copts and Berbers, between Baghdad and Fez, between Byzantine art and the architecture of the Souss, will be explored and elucidated; but, while these successive discoveries are being made, the strange survival of medieval life, of a life contemporary with the crusaders, with Saladin, even the great days of the Caliphate of Baghdad, which now greets the astonished traveller, will gradually disappear, till at last even the mysterious autochthones of the Atlas will have folded their tents and silently stolen away.”—from the book
