When celebrated mahjar writer Ameen Rihani returned to his native
Lebanon from his long stay in New York, he set out on nine journeys
through the Lebanese countryside, from the rising mountains to the
shores of the Mediterranean, to experience and document the land in
intimate detail. Through his travelogue The Heart of Lebanon,
Rihani brings his readers along by foot and by mule to explore
rural villages like his childhood home of Freike, the flora and
fauna of massive cedar forests, and archaeological sites that
reveal the history of Lebanon. Meeting goatherds, healers, monks,
and more along the way, Rihani offers more than vivid descriptions
of the country's sweeping scenery. His candid and often humorous
narration captures what he sees as the soul of Lebanon and its
people. Allen's fluid translation transports English-language
readers to an early twentieth-century rural Lebanon of the writer's
time in a way that only Rihani's firsthand account can accomplish.
