The Country of the Moors: A Journey from Tripoli in Barbary to the City of Kairwan: Folios Archive Library
Autor EDWARD RAEen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2009
First published in 1877, this book recounts the author’s travels from Tripoli in present-day Libya to the city of Kairouan in modern Tunisia. Rae gives detailed descriptions of Tripoli, the plague, the Gulf of Syrte, Tunis, Sfax and the island of Djerba. There is also a chapter on Tripoli’s Jewish quarter and its inhabitants.
Of particular interest, however, is Rae’s daring visit to the holy city of Kairouan (Kairwân). Rae was one of the earliest non-Muslims to visit and offers a stirring account of his reception and a detailed description of the city and its main buildings.

Recenzii
An outsider looking in offers a good deal of insight. "The Country of the Moors: A Journey From Tripoli in Barbaray to the City of Kairwan" is the work of Edward Rae who in the later nineteenth century traveled through northern Africa and learned much about the Moors, the dominant culture of Islam throughout the region, even visiting holy cities previously forbidden to non-Muslims. A fascinating read of historical travel with plenty to ponder, "The Country of the Moors" is a choice pick and a solid addition to any history collection.
Notă biografică
Edward Rae (1847–1923) was a renowned explorer who, in addition to this book on North Africa, also wrote several books on his travels to Lapland and the Arctic. He is credited with introducing cricket to Lapland!
