Synopsis of The Southern Gates of Arabia
En 1934, la famosa viajera británica Freya Stark zarpó por el Mar Rojo y desembarcó en Adén, ubicada en la punta de la península arábiga. Desde este puesto de avanzada, Stark emprendió la que sería su aventura más inolvidable: siguiendo las antiguas rutas del incienso del valle de Hadhramaut, la más fértil de Arabia, buscó ser la primera occidental en localizar y documentar la ciudad perdida de Shabwa. Crónica de su viaje a través de los pueblos y campamentos del Hadhramaut, The Southern Gates of Arabia es una historia viva con jeques y sultanes, tragedia y triunfo. Aunque la afirmación de descubrir Shabwa no sería en última instancia de Stark, The Southern Gates of Arabia, un éxito de ventas en su publicación original, sigue siendo un clásico en la literatura de viajes. Esta edición incluye una nueva introducción de Jane Fletcher Geniesse, biógrafa de Stark.
