Title: The empty Quarter being a description of the Great South Desert of Arabia known as Rub' al Khali.
Description: London, Constable & Company 1933. gr.-8°. XXIV, 433 S . mit 32 Taf. nach Photograph. u. 2 mehrf. gef. Karten. Grünes OLn. mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel. Ecken u. Kanten leicht berieb. Schnitt stockfleckig. EA. Erstausgabe der Reiseerlebnisse von Harry St. John Bridger Philby (1885-1960). Much of this volume was prepared in the rough as I wandered from day to day amid the sands of the Great Desert. But expert examination of the material of all kinds brought back by me from the Empty Quarter has inevitably necessitated the recasting of the whole work, which, as it now appears, is wholly the product - under pressure of modern publishing conditions - of 'holiday' months in a remote corner of Wales. (Vorw.). Philby war ein britischer Forschungsreisender und Arabist, er konvertierte zum Islam und wurde Berater des saudi-arabischen Königs Ibn Saud.
