Synopsis
Excerpt from Barbary the Romance of the Nearest East
This is the thought which continually besets me as I travel South through the changing cities - London, Paris, Avignon, Marseilles, to Algiers. This is the thought which obtrudes when I first Sight, across the Mediterranean, the mountains of Africa; as I listen to the Moorish music or watch the Moorish dancers, and the orgies of the dervishes who pierce their flesh with swords; as I pass through the Grande Mosquée built of the wreckage of Rome; as I wander through the ruined Roman cities; as I trace on the Roman frontier the same plan that can be traced along the walls of Hadrian and Antonine in Britain; as I look down from the mountains upon the sand storms sweeping across the Sahara; as I follow the footsteps of the Phoenicians, and of that older race which has left us Stonehenge; as I climb the Mountain of Two Horns, the High Place whereon stood the Altar of Baal; as I stand by the tomb of the Priest of Baal and listen to the bells pealing from the great Cathedral with which Cardinal Lavigerie has crowned the Bursa of Carthage.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an eye-opening analysis of the historical relationship between Europe and North Africa, which the author reveals as an ancient and complex struggle between two very different cultures. The author takes the reader on a journey through time, examining key political events and moments of cultural exchange, from Carthage and Rome to France's modern-day colonial project in Algeria. This book is not merely a historical account but also a perceptive exploration of the deeper themes and ideas that have shaped this relationship, including the tension between European rationalism and African spirituality. The author's unique perspective encourages readers to reconsider their understanding of both Europe and Africa and the ongoing power dynamics between them, providing invaluable insights into one of the world's most enduring conflicts.
