Description
A collection of letters from Lalibela, Ethiopia, offer a unique glimpse into life in a society still largely untouched by modern conveniences. Laurence Impey's experiences as an English teacher in the remote town provide a fascinating insight into the challenges and surprises of living in a pre-consumerist world. Impey's dispatches convey the significance of faith and family, as well as the value placed on education, in this traditional society. Written to friends and family, these letters are both heart-warming and thought-provoking, offering a personal reaction to the alien and exotic culture he encountered. This book is a charming collection of observations and reflections, highlighting the differences between life in Lalibela and the world Impey left behind.
