From 1917 19, the Tharaud brothers immersed themselves in Morocco
while observing the determined imposition of the French
Protectorate at first hand. With unique access to both colonial
manoeuvres and a now-vanished Moroccan way of life, they settled
for periods in Marrakesh, Rabat and Fez to absorb and observe. We
join them on visits to the Sultan one day and to the shrine of Sidi
Ben Achir part shrine, part mental asylum on another. They watch
the son and heir of the Glaoui dynasty die from wounds received in
a mountain battle, and lovers weaving and ducking across the
rooftops of Fez to reach their trysting place. This is the first
translation of these vivacious works into English, giving access to
the majesty, the squalor and above all the liveliness of this
extraordinary period of Moroccan history.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
