The introduction and commentary provide crucial new insights for experts, and Hannoosh's translations are eminently readable, marvelously capturing the varying tone of Delacroix's prose, which ranged from direct observations to stylish commentary and from bitter sarcasm to genuine enthusiasm.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—David O'Brien,author of \u003ci\u003eExiled in Modernity: Delacroix, Civilization, and Barbarism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In this welcome and timely book, Hannoosh presents the first comprehensive, annotated English translation of Delacroix’s important and often cited multifarious observations of his voyages to the Maghreb and Andalusia.
