{"product_id":"arabian-sands-penguin-classics","title":"Arabian Sands (Penguin Classics)","description":"\"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\n\nArabian 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0141442077\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0141442077.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Thesiger, Wilfred\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
