Summary "The Pillars of Hercules: or, A Narrative of Travels in Spain and Morocco" by David Urquhart is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The work recounts the author's spontaneous explorations through the culturally rich landscapes of Spain and Morocco in 1848, detailing the beauty, historical significance, and intricacies of these regions. Aiming to present a blend of history, geography, and personal observation, Urquhart invites the reader to experience the profound connections between the land and its layered past. The opening of the narrative introduces the author's motivations for traveling to Morocco and Spain, emphasizing the allure of these locations and their deep historical roots. Urquhart reflects on the significance of Morocco as a bastion of ancient traditions and on Spain's complex political and social landscape, particularly as it relates to European interactions. He denotes Morocco's unique cultural heritage, contrasting it with European notions and expressing a desire to draw lessons from the land's "old experience," emphasizing a journey into history rather than merely visiting new geographical sites.
