In Barbary

"In Barbary; Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and the Sahara" is a vivid and comprehensive travel narrative that explores the diverse landscapes and cultures of North Africa during the early 20th century. Written by the seasoned adventurer E. Alexander Powell, the work serves as both a detailed geographic survey and an engaging personal chronicle of a journey through the Maghreb. Powell provides readers with an in-depth look at the bustling markets of Morocco, the rugged beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the ancient history of Tunisia, and the vast, unforgiving expanse of the Sahara Desert.

The work captures a pivotal historical moment when traditional North African ways of life were intersecting with increasing Western influence. Powell's observations encompass social customs, political climates, and the architectural wonders of the region, from Roman ruins to Islamic mosques. "In Barbary" is more than a mere guidebook; it is a literary exploration of the Barbary Coast that highlights the area's strategic importance and its timeless allure to explorers. This account remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of travel writing and the transformation of North Africa in the post-World War I era.
