Excerpt from Syria: The Desert and the Sown
My journey did not end at Alexandretta as this account ends. In Asia Minor I was, however, concerned mainly with archaeology; the results of what work I did there have been published in a series of papers in the Revue Archéologique, where, through the kindness of the editor, Monsieur Salomon Reinach, they have found a more suitable place than the pages of such a book as this could have offered them.
I do not know either the people or the language of Asia Minor well enough to come into anything like a close touch with the country, but I am prepared, even on a meagre acquaintance, to lay tokens of esteem at the feet of the Turkish peasant. He is gifted with many virtues, with the virtue of hospitality beyond all others.

Book Description:
Blending accounts of customs and communities with over three hundred photographs, Bell leads readers from the Mosque of 'Umar to Kanawāt and the Dead Sea. Although often picturesque, the significant is never overshadowed by the spectacular, making this perceptive account of Syria as significant today as it was in 1907.
