Édition originale de cette traduction, peu courante, et seconde en français après celle de Mourier (Copenhague, 1773 ; puis 1774) qui avait été jugée incorrecte au point de vue du texte (fautes grossières et erreurs dans la langue arabe) et des planches. Niebuhr resta six années au Yémen (1761-1767), pays inviolé appelé alors l'Arabie heureuse. Il relata ses observations sur tous les aspects de la civilisation arabe avec un souci d'impartialité et d'exactitude qui lui font honneur. Son texte, très précis, comprend pour de nombreux lieux, objets, etc. le nom phonétique en arabe, et aussi l'écriture en arabe. Quant à la cartographie, elle est extrêmement précis, première à faire mention du Koweit. Il est aussi le premier à appeler YEMEN cette partie de l'Arabie. TOME 1 SEUL (sur 2 parus).

Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. A complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers among the Arabs, his narrative is vividly written. These papers cover the five years in which Thesiger spent in and around the Empty Quarter, the half million square miles of one of the cruellest deserts in the world. The 20th century was very fortunate in being able to have a record of some of the glory it lost as seen through the eyes and camera of this very remarkable explorer. He was born in the British Legation in Addis Ababa in 1910, an event that was to shape the life of this extraordinary man and spent his first nine years in Ethiopia, or Abyssinia as it was then called. By the time he accompanied his parents back to England in 1919, the sight, sounds, wildness and raw savagery of the land had been instilled in him and a traveller was born. His return to Ethiopia in 1930 for the crowning of HIM Haile Selassie marked the beginning of his first hunting and exploration adventures into this highly dangerous country. Wilfred Thesiger has an immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the people of the desert, the Bedu, and his work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq. But he says that none of these places moved him as did the deserts of Arabia. He spent five years in the region travelling on camels and on foot across some ten thousand miles of a vast empty land. What he found, as in his time with the people of the Iraq marshes which he described in his book The Marsh Arabs, was a way on life on the threshold of destruction.

A picture of this book is available upon request by email. A fascinating and dangerous journey through Ethiopia and Yemen, with an explanation of the rich and varied culture surrounding the drug qat, legal in UK but banned in US. 'Eating the Flowers of Paradise is an extraordinary journey in a corner of the earth which has eluded investigation by explorers until this time. It abounds with fascinating and exciting fresh material presented in a style comparable to the accepted classics of travel in Arabia and the Middle East' (Norman Lewis). Qat is legal in UK but not in US, experts claim its mild as tea or as addictive as cocaine, but Rushby explores its use which is central to life in Yemen.
