Reconnaissance au Maroc, 1883-1884 (Texte)
About this book
"Reconnaissance au Maroc, 1883-1884 (Texte)" by Charles de Foucauld is a travel journal written in 1885 and published in 1888. This account documents Foucauld's twelve-month journey through Morocco, disguised as a rabbi to avoid suspicion. Armed with a tiny notebook and pencil stub, he collected ethnological, geographical, linguistic, and historical observations. Written in spare prose, the journal earned him the gold medal from the Société de géographie de Paris and later proved valuable for French colonial conquest of Morocco.
