Product Description
Review
To call this a travel book is a vast understatement. Far more than a simple record of a journey, it is a chronicle of a people enduring the harshest desert environment on earth. Thesiger's classic narrative, first published in 1959, tells of the seven years he spent living with the Bedouin in southern Arabia. Shortly before the region's face was changed for ever by the discovery of oil, Arabian Sands records Thesiger's two treacherous journeys across Rub 'al Khali, the 'Empty Quarter'. Recording the indomitable Bedouin's senses of honour and chivalry, Thesiger captures the spirit of a people which had so entranced Lawrence and Doughty before him, writing beautifully of his own journeys through Arabia as perhaps the last Briton to feel the spirit of the land. Review By Tahir Shah (Kirkus UK)
