Description
Travail in an Arab Land by Samuel Romanelli is a firsthand account of the author's four-year ordeal in Sharifan Morocco between 1787 and 1790. After being stranded in Gibraltar, Romanelli joined a merchant bound for Morocco, where he lost his passport and was forced to endure a prolonged period of captivity. The book chronicles Romanelli's experiences during this time, offering a unique glimpse into the culture and customs of 18th-century Morocco. With its vivid descriptions and detailed observations, Travail in an Arab Land provides a fascinating insight into the life of a European traveler in a foreign land. Written by Samuel Romanelli, a poet and translator fluent in ten languages, the book is a remarkable account of adventure, survival, and cultural exchange.
