First published in 1888, this is Charles M Doughty's account of travel in the Middle East and time spent living with the Bedouins during the 1870s. T E Lawrence was a great admirer of this work, as his introduction shows, and he was instrumental in keeping the work in print and to the wider audience he believed it deserved.

Condition

A good reading copy. The boards marked and dulled, the contents a little tanned and with a little weakening to the rear hinge. The fold map with a small tear where bound in but remaining in good order.
