Dom Kalifa. Rok w Casablance

by: Tahir Shah (author) Małgorzata Glasenapp (author)

Podróż, przygoda, zagadka i humor w jednym tomie!

Mieszkający w Anglii Tahir Shah postanawia przenieść się do Maroka. Shah, pochodzący z szanowanego rodu afgańskich wojowników, nauczycieli, pisarzy i dyplomatów, od dawna odczuwał nieuświadomioną tęsknotę za kulturą arabską, od której został odcięty. Wyjazd do Maroka stanowi dla niego powrót do korzeni. Kupuje podupadłą posiadłość w Casablance, której niegdysiejszą świetność skrywają pajęczyny i kurz. Tytułowy Dom Kalifa jest nawiedzony przez złośliwego dżina Quandishe… A to nie koniec, na przemian zabawnych i mrożących krew w żyłach, przygód Shaha.

I feel like I enjoyed this book way more having read it while actually in Morocco.

Am still a little weirded out by the almost complete nonent...
