Quaderni dal Marocco

Year: 2003 Pages: 152 There are many ways to tell a journey: the unusual one chosen by Francesca Giacché guides us to a Morocco teeming with humanity, with colors that are sometimes dazzling and sometimes delicate like those she fixed in the watercolors reproduced in the volume. From the crowd moving in the background, some characters gradually detach themselves to tell a story experienced firsthand or to recall ancient legends that make us know more about those people and that country than we would be able to grasp by visiting it in the short space of a holiday . Travel and narration intertwine and take place at the slow pace befitting a timeless land, and this modern and ancient Morocco is timeless, more fascinating than could ever appear from the most seductive of descriptions in a tourist catalogue.
