About This Item
Paris: Edition Pierre Terrail, 2000. English Edition. Softcover. VG (NF but for light bumps to back cover corners). Glossy, color-illus. wraps with green lettering on spine. Green French flaps. 207 pp. with color photos throughout. A richly documented journey around the massive rapart walls and on into th ehistoric heart of each of Morocco's four imperial cities (Fez, Marrakesh, Meknes, Rabat). Windint through the alleys of the medina are the rare architectural treasures hidden behind the seemingly anonymous walls: lush patios paved with brightly-coloured zilliz, intricately stuccoed walls, and beautifully carved wood...The bustle of the souks and public squares is offset by the serenity of the buildings given over to study or prayer, while the sumptuous palaces of the kasbah, a fortified city within the city, conjure up the days when sultans were all-powerful and Morocco the centre of an empire. Stunning color photos of the cities, the Atlas mountains, the Atlantic coast, the architecture and intricate art, and all that is beautiful about Morocco.
