The Voices of Marrakesh: A Record of a Visit
Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh's bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe's major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the London Review of Books. .

Marrakesh. The Secret of Courtyard-Houses
There are two cities in Marrakesh - the first, the capital, is geometrically and secretly laid out. It is the perfect city as dreamed of by its prince. The other, that covered it, both rich and exciting, has become a labyrinth for lost travellers. The hidden order of the city, the invisible star drawn, then erased by the centuries, still shines. Its reflection can be seen in time, on the many facets of its mosaics and domes, in the geometry of its red and gold cedar ceilings, in the water in its pools and fountains, and the ever-renewed paradise of its courtyard houses..
