Au Maroc by Pierre Loti
"Au Maroc" by Pierre Loti is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book explores the author's journey and experiences in Morocco, focusing on the intricate details of the culture, landscapes, and his encounters with various people. As he embarks on his journey, Loti expresses a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Islamic traditions and a reflective pondering on life and death, weaving personal introspection into the broadertapestry of Moroccan society. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Loti's exploration, starting with his arrival in Tangier. He describes the city as a mix of European and Islamic influences and reflects on the stark contrast he feels upon stepping onto Moroccan soil, as the modernity of Europe recedes. Loti introduces himself and his group, including local guides, and hints at a deeper connection he feels to the land, as he muses sobre the mysteries of its past and its sensory pleasures. The first chapters depict the preparations for their journey into the Moroccan interior while illustrating the rich cultural tapestry through his encounters with local customs, sounds, and landscapes, hinting at the exotic adventure that awaits them in the heart of Morocco.
