Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"- An extensively researched and in-depth cultural guide to this incredible country Wanderlust - All in all, nothing surpasses Wald's guidebook if one wants to get to know and understand South Arabia, or savour its fascination Yemen Report - An eminently readable, exhaustive historical account, fascinating in itself, leavened with chapters on jewellery, birdlife, and the last imam's sexual prowess and love of Heinz tinned Russian salad TLS

Reseña del editor:

Ten thousand years of trade along its Red Sea and Indian Ocean coasts, over its mountains and across its deserts, have made this a meeting point of people and ideas: both monotheism and writing were born in Yemen, and there are many fascinating archaeological remains of the sophisticated and mixed cultures that flourished here. Contemporary Yemeni culture is perhaps most famous for its incredible mud architecture, whose forms date back for millenia but continue to develop under influences from as far away as Java. The capital, Sana'a, is one of the beautiful cities of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Yemenis are as warm and welcoming a people as a traveller is ever likely to meet.
