Description
Baghdad Sketches by Freya Stark is a vivid and enchanting memoir that captures the essence of Iraq in the early 20th century through the eyes of an intrepid traveler. Stark's keen observations and lyrical prose bring to life the bustling markets of Baghdad (Middle East), the timeless beauty of the desert, and the diverse tapestry of cultures she encounters. With a mix of wit, curiosity, and daring, she recounts her adventures and interactions with locals, painting an intimate portrait of a land both ancient and vibrant. This book is not just a travelogue but a window into a fascinating era, offering readers a rich blend of history, humanity, and Stark’s indomitable spirit. Damage to spine. Clean and tight pages. Travel books by female authors are considered as a great collectible.
