Our Arabian Nights on the Terrace by Lisette Langlois Pdf
It is summer of 1968, a new music is in the air. A dionysan epidemic is spreading like wildfire all over the western world. Seemingly overnight, thousands of young people are waking up to leave behind security and consumerism, heading East and South in search of truth and the miraculous. An innocent girl from Northern Ontario meets a bad boy from New York. They both take a big leap into wild adventures cruising the colorful roads of Morocco. For years to come they immerse themselves together with a select group of friends in an exotic Islamic world, adding new tales to the never ending collection of The Arabian Nights. The book delivers a touching compassionate inside view into the Islamic culture, being as it is a real life anthropological study of a recently demonized people. Going deep into Moslem life, butting heads with it’s patriarchic structure, the author emerges victorious as an ardent feminist. Ms Langlois is the mother of three, two of which were in tow in their early years. She studied the healing arts after returning to the US. Besides writing, she dedicates herself to healthy food, organic farming and sustainable living in Hawaii.
