About This Item
Dodd, Mead NY 1937. Fair/No Jacket. Octavo, hardcover, blue cloth with gilt lettering. No Jacket. Front hinge broken, lettering faded, edgewear to boards else VG reading copy. From the travel writer whom Jan Morris has called the much-loved master of the genre, often imitated but never matched. H. V. Morton peerlessly evokes the sights, the splendors, and the drama of history for tourists and armchair travelers alike. Here is a portrait of the Holy Land as a physical embodiment of faith. Dramatically conjuring the beauty of Israel's countryside, evoking the all-consuming passions and deep-rooted mysteries of Jerusalem and the essential nature of the sites he visits.
