Freya Stark

East is West

London: John Murray, 1945.

First UK printing. 


Printed in slightly smaller format than her other travel classics, due to wartime austerity, this is Stark's seventh book, illustrated by her own remarkable photographs. 


She charts her war adventures with the Diplomatic Corps in Baghdad and throughout the Middle East, employing her usual mix of innocence and wily self-preservation.  


She is a marvellously moral observer and does not shy from biting any of the many hands that feed her. 


Hardcover.
