A Little Book of Marrakech: Forty Reflections on Earth, Water, Craft and Performance - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Marrakech stands between the Haouz plain and the High Atlas, a city shaped by red earth, scarce water, dynastic ambition and the labour of markets, gardens and workshops. Its beauty is inseparable from the systems and people that keep a dry city alive.

A Little Book of Marrakech enters the Red City through forty concise, researched reflections. Follow its Almoravid foundation, underground khettaras, Almohad walls, Koutoubia, royal kasbah and cultivated gardens. Move through Jemaa el-Fna, fondouks, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, Saadian palaces, the Mellah and inward-facing riads. Meet storytellers, bakers, metalworkers, leather artisans and cooks; cross into colonial Guéliz and Jardin Majorelle; examine tourism, water scarcity and the difficult work of rebuilding after the 2023 earthquake.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is an intimate literary portrait rather than a conventional guidebook: a book about earth, water, craft and the daily performance of urban life.
