Living in Morocco

by Barbara Stoeltie, René Stoeltie, Angelika Taschen (Editor)

Sebbene sia separato dall'Europa solo da uno stretto braccio di Mediterraneo, il Marocco non potrebbe essere più lontano. Con i suoi paesaggi desertici, i souk labirintici, la cucina squisita, gli splendidi tessuti e tappeti, i mosaici vivaci, gli odori fragranti, la musica ipnotizzante e l'accoglienza della sua gente, il Marocco è una delle destinazioni più incantevoli e intriganti. Immergendosi nel mito marocchino, Barbara e René Stoeltie ci presentano una selezione di meravigliose abitazioni per illustrare tutti i tratti caratteristici dello stile di questa terra: da piscine piastrellate di turchese e giardini lussureggianti, fino agli arredi in legno intarsiato e alle fontane di marmo color smeraldo. Più di 500 pagine arricchite da fotografie inedite vi guideranno in un viaggio alla scoperta di oasi esotiche e paradisiache, magari mentre sorseggiate un bel tè alla menta...

This is certainly what I did when I purchased this book. I expected a volume full of palaces, mosques, markets and average folk's homes (or at least native Moroccans). What I found was a book of lavish hotels and rich foreigners' mansions. They are by and large interesting rich foreigners, but I was still disappointed in that what is portrayed in this book is not "living" in Morocco. It's "being wealthy" in Morocco. There is nothing penetrating about this book, but it is nice eye-candy.

I bought this book for pure pleasure of color contemplating. Beautiful colors and textures nicely composed. Just visual pleasure.

كتاب مصور رااائع عن الحضارة العمارنية والديكور المغربي..
اكتشفت من خلاله لماذا ينبهر الغرب بالحضارة الشرقية ويأتون باستمرار لشمال أفريقيا..

اظن اني سأدمن على سلسسلة
living in.. :D

Honestly not what I was expecting at all, the cover looks absolutely beautiful but the pictures in it are only about houses bought by probably foreign people (which I kinda should've expected from the title) and have a decoration with some sort of link to Morocco but nothing like the real houses of Moroccan people.

There’s no place on earth like Morocco.
