Used. Paperback. Pack your bags for a brilliantly bold venture through 1920s Mesopotamia with Freya Stark, a fearless English explorer who traded tea for tents and navigated wild frontiers with fluent Arabic and an unquenchable thirst for adventure. These razor-sharp travel sketches offer a startlingly fresh, solo perspective on the social tapestry of Iraq and Persia just as the region began reshaping the modern world. Stark never went looking for trouble, but her fierce devotion to personal freedom turned every perilous detour into pure literary gold. Grab a copy before she beats you to the bazaar.
