Glory In A Camel’s Eye: A Perilous Trek Through the Greatest

Glory In A Camel’s Eye: A Perilous Trek Through the Greatest African Desert – An Entertaining Portrait of Arab Nomadic Life in Morocco
- Used Book in Good Condition
Marvelously entertaining and frequently harrowing, Glory in a Camel's Eye recounts the American travel writer Jeffrey Tayler's dangerous three-month journey across the Moroccan Sahara in the company of Arab nomads. Glory in a Camel's Eye gives us an intimate, often surprising portrait of Saharan Africa: the cultural conflicts between native Berbers and Arabs, the clashes between devout desert-dwelling nomads and their city-dwelling counterparts. Fluent in Arabic, Tayler assembles an image of modern life very much at odds with our Western assumptions. He observes and reports "with eloquence and an eye for the improbable" (Outside).
