| Summary |
"Morocco" by S. L. Bensusan is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work explores the author's reflections on his journey through the lesser-known regions of Morocco, focusing particularly on its culture and landscapes. Through his observations, Bensusan offers readers a vivid portrayal of the uniqueness of Moroccan life, emphasizing the contrast between the undiscovered beauty of the land and the modern conveniences often sought by tourists. At the start of the journey, the author sets the scene at Cape Spartel, near Tangier, where he describes the stunning natural beauty of the coastal landscape. He introduces the nomadic lifestyle of the villagers nearby, including interactions with local people as he prepares for further exploration into the inland areas. The narrative unfolds as he recounts his experiences, from camping and cooking to engaging with villagers, all while reflecting on the complexities of modernization versus tradition in Morocco. This opening portion establishes a peaceful yet reflective tone, inviting readers to partake in the journey through a land steeped in history and rich in contrasts.
