Doughty's masterwork, \u003cb\u003eTravels in Arabia Deserta\u003c\/b\u003e, which has been hailed as the finest travel account in the English language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the first book to be written, in any language, about wide tracts of the Arabian Penisula. Out of his remote and lonely wanderings, Doughty fashioned a lyrical evocation of the desert and the peoples who inhabit this mysterious world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the estimation of fellow explorer Benedict Allen: 'The book, which brims with lively observations of human character, opened European eyes to the Arabian desert - not least Gertrude Bell, and later Wilfred Thesiger, who were profoundly influenced by it'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe great Arabist, T. E. 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'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Jan Morris, the book is 'entirely unique ... Whether for the strange beauty of its language, its record of a tremendous adventure, or its accurate evocation of a landscape and a civilisation, \u003cb\u003eTravels in Arabia Deserta\u003c\/b\u003e is truly one of a kind'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243515269464,"sku":"9780571243549","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571243549_d76bca1c-2df2-498e-90c8-f952ee96a06b.jpg?v=1765957516","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/wanderings-in-arabia","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
