The Desert And The Sown is a travel memoir written by Gertrude Lowthian Bell and published in 1907. Bell was a British adventurer, archaeologist, and diplomat who traveled extensively throughout the Middle East in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, she recounts her experiences traveling through the deserts of Syria and Mesopotamia, meeting with Bedouin tribes and exploring ancient ruins.The book is divided into two parts: the first part describes Bell's travels through the desert, while the second part focuses on her experiences in the cities and towns she visited. Throughout the book, Bell provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures she encountered, as well as her own thoughts and reflections on her travels.One of the most notable aspects of The Desert And The Sown is Bell's deep respect for the Arab people and their way of life. She writes about the Bedouin tribes with admiration and empathy, and often contrasts their simple, nomadic existence with the more complex and often corrupt world of the city-dwelling Arabs.Overall, The Desert And The Sown is a fascinating and insightful account of a remarkable woman's travels through a region that was largely unknown to the Western world at the time. It offers a unique perspective on the Middle East and its people, and is a valuable historical document as well as an engaging travelogue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
