Morocco: Sahara to the Sea Book

For three years photographer Mary Cross traveled throughout Morocco, from the Sahara Desert in the south to the Rif Mountains in the north, visiting large cities, small villages, and the country's little-known inaccessible regions. Gathered into this handsome volume is a selection of her haunting photographs, which capture Morocco in all its remoteness, beauty, and mystery. Cross chooses subjects in which history impinges on the present, architecture gives expression to the country's past, and natural surroundings offer a continuing commentary on the lives of the people in the landcape. With a preface by Paul Bowles, whose expatriate residence in Tangier helped to locate that city in the literary firmament, and an introduction by Moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jelloun, winner of the Prix Goncourt and the Mediterraneo Prize, Morocco: Sahara to the Sea presents a vivid portrait of a timeless land and its strongly independent people.
