| Summary | "In the Land of Mosques & Minarets" by Francis Miltoun is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the author's explorations and experiences across North Africa, particularly focusing on Algeria and Tunisia, and it aims to provide a vivid portrayal of the region's culture, landscapes, people, and contrasts in lifestyle. Through personal anecdotes and observations, the author invites readers to experience the rich tapestry of sights and sounds, from the majestic mosques to the bustling bazaars. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the challenges of traveling in North Africa, acknowledging the discomforts and limitations while simultaneously highlighting the allure of the exotic landscape. The journey begins in Marseilles, where the writer sets out for a deep exploration of the African Mediterranean coastline, portraying the anticipation of discovering the "real" North Africa beyond the touristy conventions. Miltoun emphasizes the importance of understanding the local cultures and stepping off the beaten path to experience the true essence of the land, setting the stage for the detailed observations and insights that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
