Book First Edition
Pappe. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Pappeinband mit illustrierten Vorsätzen (Karten), Lesebändchen und illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag am unteren Rand leicht berieben und auf der Rückseite ebd. mit hinterlegtem Einriss/ Abrieb, die Einbandkante ebd. etwas bestoßen, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. "Kurz nach Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs reist die Engländerin Freya Stark im Dienste ihrer Regierung in den Nahen Osten und verbringt die nächsten vier Jahre dort. Ihre Eindrücke schildert sie im vorliegenden Buch, das 1945 unter dem Titel »East is West« in Englisch erschien. Die »Lehnsesselreise für ein breites Publikum« (Freya Stark)beginnt mit ihrem Aufbruch nach Aden und endet kurz nach der dramatischen Botschaftsbesetzung in Bagdad. Dazwischen liegen Jahre der Begegnung mit den unterschiedlichsten Menschen - Begegnungen mit jemenitischen Frauen in der Abgeschiedenheit ihrer Harems genauso wie Begegnungen mit hohen Würdenträgern, Politikern und anderen Personen des öffentlichen Lebens. Freya Starks Hauptinteresse gilt jedoch den »Brothers and Sisters of Freedom<<, kleinen, von ihr gegründeten Zirkeln, in denen AraberInnen und EngländerInnen regelmäßig über Politik, die Kriegssituation und politische Strukturen diskutieren. Freya Starks ?Ansichten über Arabien< sind gekennzeichnet von ihrem echten Interesse und ihrem tiefen Respekt gegenüber der arabischen Welt. Außerdem zeugen sie von einer erstaunlichen politischen Weitsicht. Wenn die Autorin die Einigung der arabischen Staaten und die gewaltfreie Lösung der Palästinafrage als entscheidend für die Zukunft der Region begreift. Im Wissen. daß »gängige Vorstellungen über die arabische Welt längst überholt sind<<, vermittelt Freya Stark dem Publikum etwas von ihrem Verständnis arabischen Denkens und Handelns - »Der Osten und der Westen« rücken einander näher." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. XIV, 274, (10) pages. 8° (138 x 214mm).
