Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah and Meccah

par Richard F. Burton · 46 parties · about 17 hours 39 minutes de lecture

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

En 1853, aucun chrétien ne pouvait entrer dans les villes saintes de Médine et de La Mecque et vivre. Burton y est allé quand même, habillé et parlant comme un pèlerin musulman, sa vie entre ses mains pendant des mois. Ce livre est son propre récit de ce voyage, de l'Égypte à Médine puis à La Mecque. C'est l'édition Memorial, éditée par sa femme Isabel, complète en deux volumes, et les deux volumes sont ici.
