  • PERSEUS IN THE WIND
    PERSEUS IN THE WIND
    STARK, FREYA
    Written just after the Second World War, Perseus in the Wind (named after the constellation) is perhaps the most personal, and haunting, of all Freya Stark's writings. She muses on the seasons, the effect light has on a landscape at a particular time of day, the smell of the earth after rain, Muslim saints, Indian temples, war and old age. Each chapter is devoted to a particula...

  • ROME ON THE EUPHRATES
    ROME ON THE EUPHRATES
    STARK, FREYA

Along the long frontier of the Euphrates in Turkey lay the easternmost limits of the Roman Empire--a region they called Augusta Euphrantentis. Their expanding inv...

  • SOUTHERN GATES OF ARABIA, THE
    SOUTHERN GATES OF ARABIA, THE
    STARK, FREYA
    Edged by the fearsome Empty Quarter to the North, the Arabian Sea to the South and resting on layers of history that stretch back to the dawn of human civilisation, the Hadhramaut - heart of 'Arabia Felix', in what is now Yemen - is one of the wildest and most remote parts of Arabia, little-changed from when Freya Stark travelled there over 70 years ago. Tracing the ancient inc...
