Summary "Arab and Druze at Home" by William Ewing is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his five-year residency in Palestine, focusing particularly on the lands and peoples east of the Jordan River. It provides insightful glimpses into the daily lives, history, and customs of the Arab and Druze communities, while also exploring the rich landscape and ruins that characterize the region." "At the start of this travelogue, the author expresses his excitement and eagerness for the journey ahead, setting the stage for a rich narrative filled with personal encounters and detailed descriptions of the landscapes he traverses. Ewing captures the beauty of Damascus and its surroundings, recounting the preparations for his adventure and noting the significance of the annual Muslim pilgrimage. He highlights the stark contrasts within the region's environment — from lush grain-fields to the barren lava formations of el-Lejâʾ — and emphasizes the deep historical roots and cultural complexity of the inhabitants, offering a blend of personal reflections and historical context that sets a contemplative tone for the rest of the journey."
