"In Morocco" by Edith Wharton is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work captures Wharton's journey through Morocco, emphasizing her exploration of its rich landscapes, architecture, and the cultural transitions occurring in the country at that time. With vivid descriptions and reflections, the book immerses readers in the unique experiences and sights that Morocco offers. The opening of "In Morocco" begins with Wharton's acknowledgment of the absence of a comprehensive guidebook for the country, setting the stage for her adventure. She describes the challenges and opportunities of traveling through Morocco amidst the backdrop of World War I, which adds a sense of urgency and novelty to her journey. Wharton conveys the contrasting experiences between the familiar terrain of Tangier and the mysterious allure of the Moroccan interior, where she encounters a wealth of picturesque details—from camels and nomads to the enchanting landscapes that evoke a sense of timelessness. This portion of the book explores her first impressions as she begins her exploration, foreshadowing the cultural and historical richness she will delve into throughout her travels.
