Our ideas of the Arabian Peninusula have been hijacked: by images of the desert, by oil, by the Gulf War. But there is another Arabia. For the Classical geographers Yemen was a fabulous land where flying serpents guarded sacred incense groves. Medieval Arab visitors told of disappearing islands & menstruating mountains. Vita Sackville-West found Aden `precisely the most repulsive corner of the world`. Arguably the most fascinating but least known country in the Arab world, Yemen has a way of attracting comment that ranges from the superficial to the wildly fictitious. In Yemen: Travels in Dictionary L&, Tim Mackintosh-Smith writes with an intimacy & depth of knowledge gained through over twenty years among the Yemenis. He is a travelling companion of the best sort
- erudite, witty & eccentric. Crossing mountain, desert, ocean & three millennia of history, he portrays hyrax hunters & dhow skippers, a noseless regicide, & a sword-wielding tyrant with a passion for Heinz Russian salad. Yet even the ordinary Yemenis are extraordinary: their family tree goes back to Noah & is rooted in a land which, in the words of a contemporary poet, has become the dictionary of its people. Every page of this book is dashed
- like the land it describes
- with the marvellous.
