8vo. 65-69 pp. [entire volume: xi, (1), 148 pp.]. Original blue printed wrappers. First edition. The description of the author's journey through the marshes of Amarah along the Tigris and its web of canals, extracted from what was an as yet unpublished work on the subject. - St John Philby (1885-1960), also known by his Arabian name "Sheikh Abdullah", was an Arabist, explorer, writer, and British colonial office intelligence officer. Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, he studied languages and was a friend and classmate of Jawaharlal Nehru, later prime Minister of India. Philby settled in Jeddah and became famous as an international writer and explorer. He personally mapped on camelback what is now the Saudi-Yemeni border on the Rub' al Khali; in 1932, while searching for the lost city of Ubar, he was the first Westerner to visit and describe the Wabar craters. At this time, Philby also became Ibn Saud's chief adviser in dealing with the British Empire and Western powers. He converted to Islam in 1930. The personal contacts between the United States and Saudi Arabia were largely channeled through the person of Philby. - Binding a touch delicate.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Bon. [5]-XVI-771 pp., cartes New York, Cornell University Press, (1952), in-8, [5]-XVI-771 pp, cartes dépliantes dont une in-folio en couleurs, Toile verte de l'éditeur avec sa jaquette à rabats illustrée, plats ornés de motifs dorés, titre doré au dos, Édition originale de cet essai publié pour le Middle East Institute, illustré de 64 reproductions photographiques en noir. Bien complet de la grande carte dépliante en couleurs de la zone de Qizan (aujourd'hui Jizan, ville d'Arabie saoudite), sous pochette in fine. Jusque dans les années 1930, le sud-ouest de l'Arabie Saoudite figurait parmi les zones les moins explorées ou cartographiées au monde. Philby (1885-1960) a effectué ses voyages d'abord en 1932, puis en 1936-37. Ses descriptions du marché, de la cour de l'émir ou sa visite détaillée du magnifique campement royal du désert ont matérialisé un monde longtemps caché à l'Occident. Ses voyages l'ont conduit dans les maisons des émirs luxueusement tapissées et décorées autant que dans les huttes de broussailles des indigènes. Sa conversion à l'Islam, sa prise de deux épouses et sa visite à La Mecque sont décrits avec précision. Il termine ses travaux au sud d'Uqair en passant par Riyad et jusqu'à La Mecque et Jidda. Espion britannique et ornithologue, Philby était le conseiller d'Ibn Saoud, fondateur de l'Arabie saoudite moderne, auquel il a consacré une biographie (Arabian Jubilee, 1952). Quelques annotations au crayon. Légère usure d'usage, mais bon exemplaire.

First edition of this fine account of travels in southern Arabia in 1936, particularly in the Hadhramaut, by the Arabist, explorer, writer, and British colonial office intelligence officer St. John Philby (1885-1960), also known by his Arabian name "Sheikh Abdullah".

Until the 1930s the highlands of the south-west corner of Arabia were among the world's few remaining lands not fully explored or charted.Clear tape on the first page, covering part of the title of the journal without affecting the page or legibility of the text, very slight foxing on the large coloured map (mainly on the back). In very good condition.l Macro 1788. Later half black cloth, marbled paper sides, title in gold on the spine. With 1 large folding coloured map, 1 smaller uncoloured folding map, and numerous photographs on 7 plates. Pages: 21, 107-132 pp.
