Doughty had travelled in the Middle East and spent some time living with the Bedouins during the 1870s. Rory Stewart describes the book as "a unique chronicle of a piece of history that has been lost". An abridged version was arranged and introduced in 1908 by Edward Garnett, but the original version was reissued with a new introduction by Doughty and an introduction by T. E. Lawrence in 1921.Lawrence was an avid admirer of Doughty and his writing, as shown in his introduction. Lawrence had been instrumental in having the work reprinted, with his name ensuring Arabia Deserta reached a wider audience. Condition:Very Good Condition for this vintage travel hdbk.
