In Morocco
In Morocco | Edith Wharton
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
"Having begun my book with the statement that Morocco still lacks a guide-book, I should have wished to take a first step toward remedying that deficiency. But the conditions in which I travelled, though full of unexpected and picturesque opportunities, were not suited to leisurely study of the places visited. The time was limited by the approach of the rainy season, which puts an end to motoring over the treacherous trails of the Spanish zone. In 1918, owing to the watchfulness of German submarines in the Straits and along the northwest coast of Africa, the trip by sea from Marseilles to Casablanca, ordinarily so easy, was not to be made without much discomfort and loss of time. Once on board the steamer, passengers were often kept in port (without leave to land) for six or eight days; therefore for any one bound by a time-limit, as most war-workers were, it was necessary to travel across country, and to be back at Tangier before the November rains"--Preface.

The reason I've read next to nothing for the past two weeks: good times in Morocco with my siblings. All four of us haven't been together for probably 15 years.

jveezer Hmmm...I didn't know she wrote about Morocco. I have an obscure book she wrote about France in WWI. Side note: reading an Elias Canetti travel book on Morocco right now. 7y

Leftcoastzen @jveezer Have to admit still on my TBR.She was there in 1917 , German subs already lurking in the Straits between Marseille and Casablanca. 7y
Leftcoastzen @jveezer Canetti Book looks interesting. 7y
jveezer @Leftcoastzen Yes. Being in France during WWI is the source of the material for the book I have as well. I believe it's called Fighting France. 7y
