Days and Nights in Arabia
A journalist stationed for seven years in the Middle East explodes many myths about life and culture in the region. He examines the reality of Muslim fanatics, the overwhelming wealth and power of the ruling royal families, and the vast gulf in understanding between Arabia and the West.In this provocative and incisive memoir, Peter Theroux reveals the Middle East only as a true insider can. Stationed as a journalist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for most of his seven years in the region, Theroux explodes the romantic images of Arabia, but replaces them with the even more intriguing reality of fanatic Muslims, overwhelmingly rich and powerful royal families, and the vast gulf in understanding between Arabs and westerners. |
