This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Montagu Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta (1888) is remarkable for its scientific evelations and brilliantly unique style—an artful combination of Arabic and English syntax and diction that rendered a foreign way of life and thought and depicted a distant landscape of stark, barren beauty. The ten original essays in this book examine many aspects of Arabia Deserta, including its Victorian characteristics and aesthetics; its blend of fact and fantasy; its portrayal of Arab society and of Doughty himself; and the accuracy of its geographical, geological, archaeological, historical, and ethnographical observations. Additionally, the book's introduction and two bibliographies probe Arabia Deserta's reception, unique position in the genre of travel literature, and bibliographical history. During the grueling twenty-one-month journey narrated in Arabia Deserta, Doughty endured periods of sickness and near-famine, a series of treacherous guides, attack by a mob, and virtual imprisonment by a corrupt Turkish commandant. Celebrating this epic of scholarship and survival, Explorations in Doughty's "Arabia Deserta" maps the contours of a work that T. E. Lawrence, who had followed Doughty's path to Arabia, called "a book not like other books, but something particular, a bible of its kind."

Lawrence also enthused about Doughty's achievement: 'The book had no date and can never grow old. It is the first and indispensable work upon the Arabs of the desert'.

Book excerpt: 2015 Reprint of Original 1955 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Abridged by Edward Garnett. Long famous among scholars and students of Arab history and culture, readers of travel and adventure books, and lovers of English literature, Charles M. Doughty's "Travels in Arabia Deserta" is in its original form a formidable work of over 1,400 pages, a daunting length for many readers. This excellent abridgment, less than a quarter of that length, is ideally suited to a wide audience of general readers. Written after the author had spent two years wandering among the Bedouin nomads, the remarkable book describes Doughty's attempt to reach Mecca, his endurance of extraordinary hardships, and his first-hand observations of Arab life and culture in the 1870s. The work is as revered for the exceptional power and beauty of its prose as it is for its panoramic view of a fascinating and mysterious land. Originally published as "Passages from Arabia Deserta" by Horace Liveright, Inc., New York, 1931.

As I passed by the suk tradesmen beckoned to me from the shops, they too would speak with me of the adventure.
