Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Nel 1853 nessun cristiano poteva entrare nelle città sante di Medina e della Mecca e vivere. Burton andò comunque, vestito e parlando come un pellegrino musulmano, con la vita nelle sue mani per mesi. Questo libro è la sua storia di quel viaggio, dall'Egitto a Medina e poi alla Mecca. È l'Edizione Memoriale, curata da sua moglie Isabel, completa in due volumi, ed entrambi i volumi sono qui.
