Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Islam Lands: Nubia, the Sudan, Tunisia and Algeria It is suggested that my title, Islam Lands "is not euphonious." Granted - but if it were so it could not be applied to the Orient. The East is a paradox, so to speak. It is charming and shocking, picturesque and horrible; beautiful in its panoramas yet discordant in its voices and music. Therefore - to my thinking - a euphonious title would be inappropriate for this book; whereas the one I use brings to my mind and ear the clatter and clangour and all the contradictions of the lands of the waning crescent. In another work I have described the farther Orient, i.e., those lands beyond the Caspian Sea. Here, while we do not leave what might be called the nearer Orient, I think it is less known, to the thousands who sail past its shores, than those more distant sections in Central Asia. True, countless numbers have visited the cities and traversed the railways of Algeria and Tunisia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
