Il libro:
This book on the Desert in Travel Writing is
masterful and compelling. It explores the topic in a comprehensive and
commanding manner. Radhouan Ben Amara thoroughly investigates the
different metaphors used to describe the desert in Western and Eastern
literatures as well as how such metaphors have come to play an
important role in contemporary literary and cultural criticism. This
essay represents one of the best dissertations I have ever read in the
general area of literature. Ben Amara has made the research of a
difficult subject appear easy and effortless. This is a credit to his
refined
scholarship.
