TRAVELS IN ARABIA DESERTA has been recognized, almost since its publication in 1888, as one of the greatest travel books in the English language. Doughty spent almost two years traveling, going on pilgrimages, and living with various nomad tribes in northwestern Arabia, then a land almost completely unknown to Europeans and Americans. His account is a thoroughly realized document, a comprehensive understanding and treatment of every aspect of the life of the nomadic Arabs. Written with grace, fullness, and enormous insight. Wanderings in Arabia is an abridgement of Travels in Arabia Deserta by Edward Garnett. It was published twenty years after the original edition. Scribners mandated that the original 1100 pages be reduced to 600 pages. Edward Garnett accomplihed this with little sacficie to the original.
Condition: Withdrawn from the National Geographic Society Library, there has been some damage over the years. Most of the damage has been to the spines (labels, tears to top and bottom of spine, split outer hinge to vol II, card pocker glue residue). there are no marks of any kind to text.
