Travels in Ethiopia

“… A land of fantastic beauty and even more fantastic diversity, Ethiopia is presented in all its native grandeur, from the rockhewn churches of 13th-century Lalibela to the marvelous Muslim walled city of Harar, from the daily life of the Galla and Amhara of Shoa to the conquered lands of the Sidama and the Danakil on the southern and northeastern marches of the empire of the Conquering Lion of Judah. The 151 excellent photographs and the personal narrative can evoke only enthusiasm for the land and its biographer and for this book, which is still the best literary introduction to Ethopia that one can read.”
