Summary "In Morocco" by Edith Wharton is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Wharton's journey through Morocco, providing insights into the country's culture, architecture, and landscapes at a time of significant transition due to European colonization. The author reflects on the beauty and mystery of Morocco, capturing her experiences in cities like Tangier, Rabat, and Fez while conveying a sense of urgency about preserving the old ways of life before they are lost to modernization. The opening of the narrative invites readers into Wharton's adventurous spirit as she prepares to explore Morocco, emphasizing the lack of a proper guidebook for this intriguing destination. She describes the contrasts between Tangier's European influence and the allure of the uncharted Morocco that lies beyond. Wharton depicts her journey with vivid imagery, highlighting both the obstacles faced while traveling and the enchanting sights encountered along the way. The emphasis on fleeting moments and the impending arrival of mass tourism establishes a bittersweet tone, as the author strives to document a rich cultural tapestry that is on the brink of disappearance.
