Items related to Damascus: Taste Of A City (Armchair Traveller)
It is said that when a man has lived seven years in Damascus, Damascus lives in him. Damascus was Rafik Schami's home for 25 years before he went into exile, and he never forgot it. This 'Pearl of the Orient' is still the city he loves more than any other. Thirty years later, and now a prize-winning novelist, Schami leapt at the chance to write about his former home town. There were, however, two seemingly insurmountable barriers - time and geography. So Schami's sister Marie wandered through Damascus for a year on his behalf, relaying curiosities, sounds, personalities, tastes and the smells of the Old City, while Schami wrote them down, relishing the diverse mark left on Damascene cuisine by its multifarious history.

Review:
"Haus Publishing is to be congratulated on its new series, Armchair Traveller. Each one is neatly sized to fit a large pocket and very satisfying to hold, with its heavy cream pages with ample margins and an easy-on-the-eye design. The jackets themselves, illustrated continuously from front to back, urge the reader to open up and get started on the tour. And soon as he/she opens there's the first surprise -- a double-page pull-out transparent map of the area or city being travelled." Banipal Magazine
