Crossing the Sands

£35.00

Thesiger is first of all a photographer and then a writer. He had to be convinced to write Arabian Sands by someone who had seen these photos. Extracts from this book accompany and comment the pictures. Thesiger has always regarded his five years with the Bedu in Arabia as the most important and rewarding years of his life. His portraits of his companions during the crossings of the Rub al Khali are as impressive as those of the landscape.
