Publisher's Notes
An English travel writer and author of Sorcerer's Apprentice describes his and his family's experiences after purchasing a rundown palace in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, as they work to renovate the house, exorcise the jinns--mischievous invisible spirits--haunting the structure, and cope with the house's human guardians. Reprint.

Their Heads Are Green and Their Hands Are Blue
by Paul Bowles
"Bowles, one of the four or five best writers in English in the second half of the twentieth century, embraced the desert as a Christian saint embraces his martyrdom. His self-abnegation and his love of traditional culture made him one of the keenest observers of other civilizations we have ever had in America. Unlike his countrymen he did not brashly set out to improve the rest of the world.For Bowles, Americanization was the problem, not the solution.As these startling, sober travel pieces show, Bowles, because of his powers of negative capability, was able to enter into the inner truth of even the most remote places and peoples." -- from the Introduction by Edmund White
Mysterious Sahara
by Byron Khun De Prorok
Between Sea and Sahara
by Eugene Fromentin
Between Sea and Sahara offers a portrait of Algeria as it entered the third decade of progressive European colonization, as depicted by a sympathetic and sensitive colonizer. We feel the ambition and energy tinged with arrogance and malaise on the French side; the societal erosion, strength, and canny resistance on the Algerian side. Written by the accomplished painter and writer Eugene Fromentin in the early 1850s, this work is part journal, part travelogue, part fiction, presenting a realistic tableau of Algeria and its people. He questions the French role there and his own goals; he offers different ways to interpret the non-Western world on canvas; he offers telling insights into his own development as painter, writer, and human being.
