Description
Morocco That Was by Walter Harris offers a unique glimpse into the country's history and culture. From 1887 until his death in 1933, Harris lived in Morocco, observing its life and interacting with its rulers. This book is a personal account of Harris's experiences, full of humor and insight. He was an outsider who gained the trust of those in power, including at least three sultans. The result is a vivid portrayal of Morocco during a period when it remained largely untouched by foreign influence. Originally published in 1921, Morocco That Was remains a fascinating read today, offering a blend of observation and romance that makes it an engaging and entertaining book.
