Unexplored Syria : Visits to the Libanus, the Tulul el Safa, the Anti-Libanus, the Northern Libanus, and the 'Alah

Omtale

Richard Francis Burton (1821–90) spent two years as consul of Damascus, giving him unprecedented access to some of Syria's most remote areas and local culture, politics and religion. Published in 1872 in collaboration with Charles Drake (1846–74), this is a frank two-volume account of a country's developing identity.
