Lawrence Forward … ” Few men are able to close an epoch. We cannot know the first man who walked the inviolate earth for newness’ sake: but Thomas is the last; and he did his journey in the antique way, by pain of his camel’s legs, single-handed, at his own time and cost. He might have flown an aeroplane, sat in a car or rolled over in a tank. Instead he has snatched, at the twenty-third hour, feet’s last victory and set us free. ..” From Introduction … ” ARABIA FELIX! Strange that the epithet ‘Happy’ should grace a part of the earth’s surface, most of it barren wilderness where, since the dawn of history, man has ever been at war with his environment and his neighbour. Yet there can be no mistaking the classical geographers. To Strabo, Pliny, and Ptolemy, the term Arabia Felix served for the entire peninsula south of Syria desert (Arabia Deserta) and the Mountains about Sinai (Arabia Petraea). Yet Arabia has remained the forbidden land. Throughout the centuries scarce twenty European explorers have been able usefully to penetrate to her inhospitality heart. For this there are two main reasons. First, lack of rain and the merciless heat of the Arabian desert, secondly the religion of these desert men, at least in practice, is fanatical and exclusive… As a Minister of the Council of the State of Oman, my name came to be known throughout south-east Arabia; it was because I was the Sultan’s Wazir and because of the cordial relations existing between the Ruler and myself that I was brought into personal touch with the most influential Arabs of that part. . ..” Contents … Forward Preface Introduction A Propitious Start and an Early Check At Dhufar: Anarchy, Treachery and Hospitality Skull-Measuring and Devil-Dancing In the Qara Mountains: ‘Ain ar Rizat In the Qara Mountains.
