Description

Oriental Encounters offers a unique insight into the life and experiences of Marmaduke Pickthall, as he shares his fictionalised account of travels in Syria. With two remarkable companions by his side, Rashid and Suleyman, Pickthall's encounters with the Middle East are filled with freshness and high spirits.

As he navigates his alienation from fellow-Englishmen and develops an affection for the people of Syria and Palestine, Pickthall slowly discards his European perspective. This book provides a captivating glimpse into his journey, revealing the ways in which his experiences shaped him.

A valuable introduction to Pickthall's work, Oriental Encounters is a thought-provoking read that explores the complexities of cultural heritage and identity.
