Charles Montagu Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta (1888) is remarkable for its scientific evelations and brilliantly unique style—an artful combination of Arabic and English syntax and diction that rendered a foreign way of life and thought and depicted a distant landscape of stark, barren beauty. The ten original essays in this book examine many aspects of Arabia Deserta, including its Victorian characteristics and aesthetics; its blend of fact and fantasy; its portrayal of Arab society and of Doughty himself; and the accuracy of its geographical, geological, archaeological, historical, and ethnographical observations. Additionally, the book's introduction and two bibliographies probe Arabia Deserta's reception, unique position in the genre of travel literature, and bibliographical history. During the grueling twenty-one-month journey narrated in Arabia Deserta, Doughty endured periods of sickness and near-famine, a series of treacherous guides, attack by a mob, and virtual imprisonment by a corrupt Turkish commandant. Celebrating this epic of scholarship and survival, Explorations in Doughty's "Arabia Deserta" maps the contours of a work that T. E. Lawrence, who had followed Doughty's path to Arabia, called "a book not like other books, but something particular, a bible of its kind."

Journeying from the green, rain-soaked Kerala into the amphitheatre of the Sun, our traveller-journalist finds that there is no better metaphor than the desert to instil the lessons of life and death, love and hatred, thirst and water. From a single shower of rain which brings the gaaf tree back to life after a decade to the ever-shifting dunes of gold and thousand-year-old sand palaces, the mysterious poetry of the desert is everywhere on display, if one but has the eye and heart to see it. As the deserts of Nafud, Dahna, and Rub’ al Khali in Arabia both embrace and trap the travellers, the outpouring of the landscape’s longing for rivers recalls a past filled with water. This narrative describes the history, prehistory, archaeology, legends, folklore, and travails of the émigré Asian work force that tames the harsh desert as never before.

A counterfeit Christian vaccinator cut off in the desert. Advantage of the profession of medicine. Hamud sends his sick infant son to the Nasrany hakim, who cures also Hamud's wife. Diseases at Hayil. The great Kasr. The guest-chambers. Hayil house-building. Wards of the town. Artificers. Visit to S'weyfly. The makbara has swallowed up the inhabitants. Deaf and dumb man-at-arms of the Emir. Majid shooting with ball. English gunpowder. Gulf words heard at Hayil. Palms and a gum-mastic tree in Ajja. 'The coming of Mohammed foretold in the Enjil.' Hamud's tolerant urbanity. Another audience. The princely family of Ibn Rashid. Telal a slayer of himself. Metaab succeeded him. His nephews, Telal's sons, conspire to kill him. Metaab dies by their shot. Bunder prince. Mohammed who fled to er-Ridth returns upon assurance of peace. He is again conductor of the Bagdad pilgrims. He comes again to Hayil with the yearly convoy of temmn for the public kitchen. Bunder rides forth with his brother Bedr and Hamud to meet him. Mohammed slays (his nephew) Bunder Hamud's speech to the people. Tragedies in the Castle. Mohammed's speech in the Meshab. He sits down as Muhafuth. Bedr taken and slain. Mohammed slays the slayer. Hamud's nature. Mohammed the Emir is childless. His moderation and severity. The princely bounty. The Shammar state. Villages and hamlets. The public dues and taxes and expense of government. The Prince's horses sold in India. His forces. Ibn Rashid's forays. He "weakens" the Aarab. The Shammar principality. When I returned in the afternoon from the ascent of the Sumra I found it was already a matter of talk in the town. The first persons met with approached to ask me, "What have you found there - anything? tell us! certainly you went to see something yonder, and else wherefore had the Nasrany climbed upon those high rocks, and paid pence for an ass?" As I passed by the suk tradesmen beckoned to me from the shops, they too would speak with me of the adventure.
