Résumé
"In Morocco" by Edith Wharton is a vivid travelogue that captures the essence of Morocco during a time of change. The narrative begins with Wharton's journey from Tangier, a city already touched by European influence, into the heart of Morocco, which remains largely untouched by modernity. Wharton describes the challenges of traveling through the Moroccan landscape, from the rough trails to the unexpected breakdowns that reveal the country's untamed nature. Her journey takes her to Rabat and Sale, where she observes the contrast between the bustling markets and the serene, historical architecture. Wharton is particularly captivated by the ruins of Chella and the grandeur of the Tower of Hassan, which stand as testaments to Morocco's rich history. The narrative also includes a visit to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the sacred city of Moulay Idriss, where Wharton experiences the blend of ancient Roman and Islamic influences. Throughout her travels, Wharton is accompanied by French officials who provide insights into the country's past and present, highlighting the efforts to preserve Morocco's cultural heritage amidst the inevitable changes brought by European colonization. Her account is not just a travel diary but a reflection on the cultural and historical complexities of Morocco, offering readers a glimpse into a world on the brink of transformation.
