Anthony Sattin Bücher

Marokko legte auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert eine sehr verhaltene Gangart an den Tag. Grund dafür ist der ehrgeizige Versuch, die Globalisierung willkommen zu heißen, ohne die tiefen traditionellen Wurzeln der Nation zu kappen.

Ausgestattet mit unveröffentlichten Aufzeichnungen aus den zwanziger Jahren, macht sich Anthony Sattin auf eine ungewöhnliche Suche: Er fahndet nach den Spuren, die 5.000 Jahre Geschichte im heutigen Ägypten hinterlassen haben und all ihren Widersprüchen.

Po několik tisíciletí národy žijící kočovnickým způsobem prostředkovaly důležité podněty mezi usedlými civilizacemi. Civilizace Středomoří a biblické Palestiny, římská, arabská, čínská a mongolská říše - všechny tyto země byly podstatně ovlivněny nomádsky žijícími etniky a kulturami.

Čtivě psaná kniha anglického cestovatel nahlíží i do života dnešních posledních přežívajících nomádů .
