Lonely Planet |
ISBN : 1740596781 |
| |
The one guide you have to take with
you. Heavy, thin pages, small prints, thousands of information,
thousands of addresses, ideas, accurate description. And
a respectful approach to our planet… |
|
|
Knopf Guide Morocco |
ISBN : 0679753133 |
| |
Knopf guide is more an art book than a guide
(and addresses might not be up to date). One hesitates to
put it in the backpack, but it is full of beautiful illustrations,
cultural and historical references, to read and read again,
to prepare your travel, and when you come back, to play with
your memories. |
|
|
Morocco (Eyewitness Travel Guides) |
ISBN : 0751368776 |
| |
With beautiful illustrations, many 3D views,
a very interesting guide and a good compromise between Lonely
Planet and the Knopf guide, that you can take with you. |
|
|
Sahara Overland, by Chris Scott |
ISBN :1873756763 |
| |
A comprehensive book, hundreds of pages
of useful advices, whatever is your mean of transport, and
many many off roads itineraries, with description and GPS
points. If you want to travel without us, this is the guide
you should buy ! |
|
|
|
| Some
Books |
| One could fill many shelves
with about Morocco, history, legends, novels, photos…
here is a very short selection, a very few books not to overload
your luggage ! |
|
Let it come down, by
Paul Bowles |
ISBN : 087685479X |
| |
A bored guy decides to leave America
for Tangiers, where he will experiment sex and drugs. Lots
of funny characters and scenes descriptions, specially when
Bowles contrasts the honest, but superstitious, village
life of the Berbers with the corrupted city dwellers. At
the end, the hero will pay the dark price of his sins….
|
|
|
The Sacred Night, by Tahar ben Jelloun |
ISBN : 0801864410 |
| |
How do you choose a book of Ben Jelloun
? Some chance, also because it comes after « The Sand
Child » and therefore you’ll read two of them
to know the story of this child, this Ahmed who might be
forced to be something else than what he shows. |
|
|
Sahara, Magic Desert, by Théodore
Monod |
ISBN : 0916567087 |
| |
There are no borders at the heart of the
desert, and Theodore Monod wanders through Sahara without
caring about these dotted lines men draw on maps. This book
tells his discovery of the desert, starting in Mauritania,
and the beginning of a love story with this place we understand
so well. |
