• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This little known traveller's account of the 1920s is at the same time amusing and perceptive. Beginning in Baghdad, travelling across the Gulf to Bahrain, Ameen Rihani enters the Arabia of Ibn Sa'oud, the fast-becoming legend of the region. Weaving a fine tapestry of colorful local information, political intrigue and characters of the time, Rihani's book is an undiscovered classic.
