Das Unberührte und Ursprüngliche, das Lady Anne Blunt auf ihrer "Pilgerfahrt" zur "Wiege der asilen Araberpferde" im Nejd antraf, gehört der Vergangenheit an, aber dieser Reisebericht erweist sich noch heute als eines der wenigen bedeutsamen Dokumente über Innerarabien. Die von ihr betriebene Zucht reinrassiger Araber im heimatlichen Gestüt zu Sussex und im ägyptischen zu Kairo gilt als ein Höhepunkt der internationalen Vollblutaraberzucht. ...

Excerpt from Bedouin Tribes of the Euphrates, Vol. 2 of 2 In leaving Bagdad, as we had done, without paying a farewell visit to the Valy, we had committed a breach of etiquette, and in travelling without a buyuruldi a breach of the law, which might bring us into trouble with the Turkish authorities, whenever we came again under their jurisdiction.

Excerpt from A Pilgrimage to Nejd, Vol. 1 of 2: The Cradle of the Arab Race, a Visit to the Court of the Arab Emir, and "Our Persian Campaign" The idea and the promise were in strict accord ance with Bedouin notions, and greatly delighted both him and his father Abdallah, to whom they were in due course communicated. Arab custom is very little changed on the point of marriage from what it was in the days of Abraham, and it was natural that bo...
