Wilfred Thesiger was born in Addis Ababa in 1910 and educated at Eton and Oxford. Though British, he was repulsed by the softness and rigidity of Western life, "the machines, the calling cards, the meticulously aligned streets, etc." In the spirit of T.E. Lawrence, Thesiger spent five years exploring and wandering the deserts of Arabia. With vivid descriptions and colorful anecdotes he narrates his stories, including two crossings of the Empty Quarter, among peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels.

"Following worthily in the tradition of Burton, Lawrence, Philby and Thomas, [Arabian Sands] is, very likely, the book about Arabia to end all books about Arabia."
-The Daily Telegraph, London

"The narrative is vividly written, with a thousand little anecdotes and touches which bring back to any who have seen these countries every scene with the colour of real life."
-The Sunday Times, London --此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

读完之后有一种去沙漠地区旅游的冲动，当然今日的阿拉伯非当时的阿拉伯。可惜！

在NGM的《走出伊甸园》之旅报道中提到，终于等到这本书，一读为快。
发书速度还可以，一小缺憾是封面被硬折过，还好没有大碍。

但是书的质量太差，胶装，而且我这本松松垮垮，好像有人拿回家去读过一遍。网购书，第一次遇见这样的不负责任

A Gift

This is one of my favorite books. There's something so grand about the scale and ambition of Thesiger's journey to the Arabian desert. His whole life was building up to this point. Born to an English family in Ethiopia, he took an interest in other cultures from an early age. Thesiger set out exploring places not yet known well to the Western world. He wasn't only interested in other cultures, he often admired them. An early exploration of his was to the Danakil in Africa. Along the way he took many great photographs that show people and ways of life before the onset of modernity. Thesiger also served with the British military in Africa during World War II. By the time he set off for the Empty Quarter of Arabia, he was already well acquainted with travelling in places with difficult terrain and alien cultures. In Arabian Sands he dives in to the Empty Quarter for a long period of time. He lives and dines with the nomadic Bedouin inhabitants. He learns about the tribes and their sometimes chaotic way of life. He is throughout this journey still a wealthy Englishman who never joins the tribe. Thesiger remains always an outsider looking in and chronicling a way of life he knows will soon be disappearing. He is often admiring of the Bedouin culture and fascinated by their mores. Even though I read this book many years ago, I remember when he writes about the Bedouin feeling sad when an animal (I can't remember which one) died. He relates how their outpouring of grief in that moment contrasted with their usual stoicism. There are so many fascinating people and scenes in Arabian Sands. It is really a gift to all of us from Thesiger. Whether you agree with Thesiger's opinions or not, his Arabian journey is a window to a place and time that existed in some shape or form for thousands of years but will probably never exist again.

One of my idols

I read this book when I was much younger and no one knew about this man nor much about Arabia. I was invited to be part of a team that would start an airline for the United Arab Emirates, a rather new country (formally the Trucial Coast- tribes that warred against each other and were Bedu and pearl divers). The airline was called Hamarein Air in about 1976 and was started by one little Bedu named Saif Hamarein. He owned small mini marts all over the Emirates, but especially in Ras al Khaima and Sharjah. he raised money from those to buy a 747!
I read this book as I started departing from LAX and since the flight was over 27 hours with a stop in Paris and an over night, I finished it.
This man, Sir Wilfred Thesiger was remarkable and although only 29 years old, struck off into uncharted lands even the Bedu did not dare cross. He traveled and lived among the tribes of all the areas he charted and learned amazing things from the nations. Because of him today, we learned much about a peoples unknown to the western world. I often wondered what happened to him and since we did not have computers, there was little way to actually look for him. He seemed to have vanished. But on my second time living among the Emirates in the 1990's, they found him in a mud hut in Africa being cared for by an Ethiopian woman and he had satchels of film never processed from his trips in the 1940's! I own 2 of these unpublished photos of his journeys and had the amazing pleasure of meeting my idol at 90+ years old! I cherish my photo with him. He was a remarkable man who did much to bring us the very news about corners of the earth he was later to regret as it brought westernization to the quiet countries and people he adored.

Thesiger - a great Arabist writer

2019年7月19日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

He may the best old-style Arabist writer of them all, very knowledgeable;, erudite and just a little pompous a pleasure to read and read again. Possibly the last of a dying breed of true adventurers in every sense of the word. Only Tim Mackintosh-Smith surpasses him.

A fun read about a world gone by

This was a really fun book to read. It was great to read about wandering in complete emptiness. I had no idea how different the Arab and Bedu culture is from British or U.S. culture. It’s sad how the nomadic life in the Empty Quarter is gone, but I’m glad this book captured it.
