Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'I stand in a portico hung with gentian-blue ipomoeas...and look out on a land of mists and mysteries; a land of trailing silver veils through which domes and minarets, mighty towers and ramparts of flushed stone, hot palm groves and Atlas snows, peer and disappear at the will of Atlantic cloud-drifts.'

In Morocco is Edith Wharton's classic account of her journey to Morocco in the final days of World War I. With a characteristic sense of adventure, Wharton set out to explore the country and its people, recording her impressions and encounters.

She travelled by military jeep - to Rabat, Moulay Idriss, Fez and Marrakech, from the Atlantic coast to the High Atlas. Along the way she witnessed religious ceremonies and ritual dances, visited the opulent palaces of the Sultan and was admitted to the mysterious world of his harem.

Her descriptions of the places she visited - mosques, palaces, ruins, markets and harems - are typically observant and full of colour and spirit. Wharton's narrative is as rich as souks through which she wandered, peopled with storytellers and warriors, slaves and spin-spinners: an evocative and intimate portrait of this extraordinary country.

Notă biografică

Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt.
