5.0 out of 5 stars A Glimpse of the Past in Words and Photographs, February 8, 2000
By 
David Campbell (United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crossing the Sands (Hardcover)
Wifred Thesiger describes his journeys in the Empty Quarter and the Arabian Peninula during the late forties. At that time few Europeans travelled in those areas and occasionally their presence was not welcome. From these journeys he emerged with a great respect for the Bedu who were his travelling companions. His writing style is masterly as he describes his journeys in a plain language which is at the same time eloquent. He shows a great understanding of and a fondness for the Bedu people and their now vanished way of life. Theiseger is also a photographer of exceptional ability and this volume contains a large number of the photographs he took on his expeditions. These and the text create a stunning picture of the land and its peoples. This is much more than a coffee table book.
