Description

Ibn Battutah—ethnographer, bigrapher, anecdotal historian and occasional botanist—used to be just 21 when he set out in 1325 from his native Tangier on a pilgramage to Mecca. He didn’t go back to Morocco for some other 29 years, traveling as a substitute through more than 40 countries at the up to date map, covering 75,000 miles and getting as a ways north as the Volga, as a ways east as China, and as a ways south as Tanzania. He wrote of his travels, and comes across as a fantastic ethnographer, biographer, anecdotal historian, and occasional botanist and gastronome. With this edition by Mackintosh-Smith, Battuta’s Travels takes its place alongside other indestructible masterpieces of the go back and forth-writing genre.
