Jérôme et Jean THARAUD. [MANUSCRIT] "A trip to Morocco". Signed manuscript of 11 leaves in folio, written in violet ink. As usual, the leaves have been cut out by the authors and then recomposed to form the final state of the manuscript. The Tharaud brothers, whose love of Morocco is no mystery, praise this beautiful country, close by, "whether you set sail from Marseille or Bordeaux, it's only three days by sea..." and "as far away as the Indies or China", but always with "the pleasure of comfort and the most complete security". "It's always by car that the tourist travels - which allows him to make more intimate contact with the country and the people"... "perfectly comfortable hotels, even the most charming luxury..."... "the best season for travel is early spring...". "The most astonishing thing about Morocco is the cities you see and the civilization that is preserved there - Fez, Meknes, Rabat, Marrakech are cities of marvelous originality, and all different in their beauty" -. Throughout the manuscript, we sense the Tharaud brothers' deep infatuation with Morocco, sometimes comparing it with Turkey or Egypt, where modern life has taken hold "with brutality" in contrast to Morocco. They go on to describe Morocco's major cities, their jewels and the joys of living there. They give the reasons why a trip to Morocco is one of the most beautiful journeys in the world.
