About This Item
London, England and Sidney, Australia: Scribners, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback Type: Hard Back First Printing. Hardcover Book in FINE Condition with a VERY GOOD JACKET. Handsome binding of blue half cloth w/gilt title, navy cloth over boards, very clean, no wear evident. Tight, solid, square, sharp corners. Interior is Fine. Glossy, bright, clean jacket has a few light wrinkles , not price-clipped. After eleven trips to Morocco, Sylvia Kennedy writes of a strange place, a seething mixture of vast empty marble palaces and overcrowded hovels, of massive poverty and colossal wealth, of sexual double standards, of violent riots and racial unrest--controlled by an omnipotent government and a king whose immunity from assassination is assured by the fragment of the Koran sewn into his arm. This book is a chronicle of three trips to Morocco, traveling from Marrakesh to the High Atlas Mountains, from Casablanca to Rabat to Fez. What she saw and experienced, the people she met, the places she explored are all part of this immensely interesting book. 342 pages. 9.5 x 6.25 inches. Scribners, London and Sydney, 1992.
