Bulgarian writer of origin to the Turkish and British dual nationality, of German expression and prize winner of the Nobel Prize of literature in 1981, Elias Canetti reports in this splendid collection published into 1967 of the impressions made at the time of a voyage in Marrakech fourteen years earlier for the turning of a film. It is not an account of voyage but a disordered assembly of daily notes, moments lived in this city which filled with wonder the writer forever. Through these fourteen Canetti accounts makes us live the town of Marrakech under several of its aspects, visits of a market of camels, the souks, the trade, Mellah, the Jamaa-El-Fna Place,.... But with the sense line through these various accounts it reveals some as much on itself.
