PENGUIN CLASSICS ARABIAN SANDS - WILFRED THES...

Following worthily in the tradition of Burton  Lawrence  Philby and Thomas  [Arabian Sands] is
very likely  the book about Arabia to end all books about Arabia. -The Daily Telegraph Arabian
Sands is Wilfred Thesiger's record of his extraordinary journey through the parched Empty
Quarter of Arabia. Educated at Eton and Oxford  Thesiger was repulsed by the softness and
rigidity of Western life-the machines  the calling cards  the meticulously aligned streets. In
the spirit of T. E. Lawrence  he set out to explore the deserts of Arabia  traveling among
peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels.
His now-classic account is invaluable to understanding the modern Middle East.
