Finn, your Starvard guide

Hallo, ik ben Finn, en ik help je dit boek te begrijpen.

Hier is het, uitgelegd alsof je 10 jaar bent:

In 1853 kon geen christen de heilige steden Medina en Mecca binnengaan en blijven leven. Burton ging toch, gekleed en sprekend als een moslim pelgrim, met zijn leven maandenlang in zijn handen. Dit boek is zijn eigen verhaal van die reis, van Egypte naar Medina en verder naar Mecca. Het is de Memorial Edition, geredigeerd door zijn vrouw Isabel, compleet in twee delen, en beide delen staan hier.
