Year in Marrakesh Mayne Peter
Peter Mayne (1908-1979) is to Morocco what Peter Mayle is to Provence or Lawrence Durrell to Greece. Having already learned to appreciate Muslim life when he was in Pakistan, Mayne bought a house in the labyrinthine back streets of Marrakesh. This 1953 classic in a new edition captures the very essence of the people and place.
He learned their language, made friends, took part in their festivals, and wrote their letters. He wanted to settle there, not as a privileged visitor in a hotel or grand villa, but as one of the inhabitants. This is not a travel book in the accepted sense of the word-it is a record of personal experience in a region of foreign life well beyond the tourist's eye.
Mayne contrives in a deceptively simple prose to disseminate in the air of an English November the spicy odors of North Africa; he has turned, for an hour, smog to shimmering sunlight, woven a texture of extraordinary charm.
