Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Holy Cities of Arabia' is an evocative and detailed account of Eldon Rutter's clandestine journey through the sacred heart of the Islamic world during the 1920s. In this second volume, Rutter continues his meticulous documentation of the Hijaz region, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into t…he rituals, architecture, and daily life of Mecca and Medina. Written at a pivotal moment in Middle Eastern history, the work provides an invaluable record of the geographical and social landscape of the Arabian Peninsula before the era of modern development.Rutter, who traveled in disguise to witness the sacred ceremonies of the Hajj, combines the precision of a geographer with the narrative flair of a seasoned explorer. His observations cover a wide range of subjects, from the intricate traditions of the pilgrimage to the political atmosphere of the region. This volume serves as both a profound historical document and a compelling travelogue, capturing the spiritual gravity and physical reality of the holy cities.

In den WarenkorbFIRST EDITION. 2 vols. 8vo. (23 x 15 cm). pp.xv+303+[1, colophon]; vii+288. Publishers' original dark green cloth, spines and upper covers lettered in gilt, front covers of each volume bearing prominent gilt Arabic script ('Mecca' and 'Medina'), top edges gilt. Photographic frontispiece to both volumes, and 8 maps: 1) Mecca (dou…ble-page), 2) The Road between Mekka and 'Arafa, 3) The Haram of Mekka, 4) Roads Connecting Mekka with Et-Tâif, 5) Et-Tâif, 6) El Medina (double-page), 7) The Haram of El Medina, and 8) Arabia showing the Author's Route. Some light spotting to edges and the odd leaf, generally an excellent set. Few British explorers in Arabia have produced books whose importance as travelogues is transcended by their literary quality. One such is The Holy Cities of Arabia, first published to critical acclaim in 1928 (no less than Percy Cox hailed it as a "first-class piece of work"), with its author being hailed as a worthy successor to Burckhardt, Burton and Doughty. Unrivalled among works by Western travellers to Islam's holy cities, this account of a pilgrimage to Mecca in 192526 is made all the more remarkable by its author's timing: in 1925 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Saud brought to an end centuries of rule over the Hijaz by the Hashimite sharifs and their Ottoman overlords. Rutter, living as a learned Muslim Arab in a Meccan household, had a ringside seat as Riyadh imposed its writ on Islam's holy cities. As striking as his account of life in Mecca before modernisation are his interviews with Ibn Saud, and his journeys to al-Ta'if and to the City of the Prophet, al-Madinah. The Holy Cities of Arabia proved to be its author's only full-length work and, after a brief career as a Middle East traveller, Rutter lapsed into obscurity. The Geographical Journal, "An Englishman in Mecca" (review by Percy Cox), Vol. 73, No. 5 (May, 1929), pp. 460-463.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition of this account of performing the hajj in the guise of a Syrian pilgrim, of "striking literary quality [and] enhanced by his remarkable talent for conveying a vivid and sympathetic insider's view of Islam's holy cities" (Facey, p. 1). Inspired by Burckhardt and Burton, Rutter studied Arabic in Egypt after the First… World War. "He lived as a native until he felt so thoroughly at home in the language and well versed in the rites and traditions of Islam as to be confident of his ability to carry through the pilgrimage as a fully fledged Muhammadan" (Cox). Despite the death of his intended travelling companion and the outbreak of hostilities in the Hejaz, Rutter set out from Suez for Massawa, avoiding the usual Jeddah route, and returned to Egypt just over a year later. On its release, Rutter's account found favour with T. E. Lawrence, who wrote to Henry Williamson that the volumes "are most modestly good: very human, and fair, and fresh. The entire absence of great-mindedness is very charming. I wonder who he is? Some very queer fish, probably, who has lived for a long while on the wrong side of the world." Ghani, p. 586. Percy Cox, "An Englishman in Mecca", The Geographical Journal, vol. 73, no. 5, May 1929; William Facey & Sharon Sharpe, "Who was Eldon Rutter?", Journal of Arabian Studies, vol. 6, no. 2, 2016. 2 vols, octavo. Collotype frontispieces with captioned tissue guards, showing Kaaba in Mecca and Green Dome in Medina, 8 maps (2 folding). Original dark green bead-grain cloth over bevelled boards, spines lettered in gilt, Arabic script in gilt on front covers (Mecca on vol. I, Medina on vol. II), top edges gilt, bottom edges untrimmed. Contemporary ownership inscription (perhaps "Jordan A. Ackermann") on front free endpapers verso. Cloth lightly rubbed and marked, fore edge foxed, lesser foxing internally: very good.
