Reconnaissance au Maroc, 1883-1884 (Texte) by Charles de Foucauld
"Reconnaissance au Maroc, 1883-1884" by Charles de Foucauld is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles de Foucauld's extensive exploration of Morocco, during a time when European interest in the region was growing yet fraught with danger. The exploration presents not only geographical observations but also insights into the local cultures, as he notably undertook the journey disguised as a Jew to navigate the complexities of Moroccan
society. The opening of the text introduces us to de Foucauld before he begins his journey, expressing gratitude towards those who assisted him. He reflects on his preparations and the challenges ahead, including the need for secrecy and subterfuge to safely navigate through the politically unstable and culturally diverse regions of Morocco. As he sets out from Tanger to Tétouan, he describes the landscape, the agricultural richness of the valleys, and the contrasting societal dynamics he encountered, setting the stage for his detailed explorations and the many interactions with local populations throughout his travels.
