Yusuf is like any other 10-year-old boy living an ordinary life with his parents. He likes nothing more than spending time with his best friend Jack. Eight years after Yusuf's one and only trip to see his grandfather, the Ayouch family excitedly prepares to welcome Grandpa to England, at last! But even Jack has to agree that the gift that Grandpa brings Yusuf from Morocco is disappointingly ordinary. Or is it? Little do the boys know that together they are about to discover a world so much bigger than either of them ever imagined and learn how, with a curious mind, things are not always what they seem. But will it finally teach them to appreciate the most valuable gift of them all?

This text is among the first to delve deeply into the little known history of Moroccan carpets. Among the revelations this book provides is the correction of the widely held belief that "no Moroccan or Tunisian carpets predates the 19th century". There are three sections covering the historical, technical and aesthetic significance of Morocco's carpet weaving heritage. The technical and aesthetic sections are the most exhaustive - the former covering the three main styles of carpets, and the latter exploring the various styles and thoughts that inspire the imagery of the carpets.

The abstractions, powerful compositions, and magical significance of Moroccan carpets fascinated artists such as Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer and Sean Scully. Their straightforward graphic style and vibrant colours are evocative of Mark Rothko or Cy Twombly. This intriguing resemblance forms the basis of this publication, which presents a striking juxtaposition of Moroccan woven and knotted carpets and European and American twentieth-century art. Unique examples from the Adam collection, one of the most significant private collections of Moroccan nomad carpets in the world, show how the abandonment of figural representations led to radical abstraction and a completely free and modern use of colours and forms among the Arabs and Berbers in the Maghreb. Since the early twentieth century, the return to the origins of art through the exploration of early or so-called primitive cultures in Africa, Asia, and America has led western artists to follow a similar path and to find patterns that connect, which form the roots of the European avant-garde.

Please DO NOT BUY from the resellers listed. We have not authorized them and therefore we cannot guarantee the authenticity or that the augmented reality (AR) will work. We have looked at some of their reviews and have seen that some customers have not received their purchases. We support author getting paid for their work, always consider buying directly from the author for authenticity. What starts out for T.R. Lawrence as a surfing vacation to Morocco turns into a series of life-changing adventures--stemming from such random events as a knock on the door, the casual flipping through a magazine, a duffle bag knocked off a shoulder, a walk through a Marrakech alley when suddenly being pulled into a shop, and a motorcycle ride behind a truck loaded with olives. His fascinating work of storytelling details his courage to pursue new opportunities. You'll appreciate T.R.'s excitement when he buys ten exquisite hand-woven rugs during his first trip and finds a buyer in the States. T.R. shares the joy of stepping into a business that quickly becomes an adventurous lifestyle he is destined to live. His narrative writing covers his 25-year successful import-export business, with the partnership of his wife, Linda, and the assistance of local merchants, as he gathers the best antiques and things rarer and finer than what unknowledgeable tourists can find. T.R. and Linda embrace the culture and customs of Moroccans, adopting their clothing styles as their own. He takes you into the street markets and alleyways in the old section of the city, as well as the intriguing Djemaa el Fna, the Square of the Dead. Become enthralled with the acrobats, snake charmers, and storytellers that enliven the square each evening across from their hotel. T.R. frequently feels that Marrakech is speaking to him, convincing him he belongs there. Travelers will celebrate each page in T.R.'s journeys within the country and through the realm of art and cultural activities discovered in his hunt for exquisite rug weavings by hand, jewelry, antiques, and clothing in the street markets for export to the United States. In his own prosperity, T.R. naturally helps many merchants thrive as they go out in search of rarities for him. Welcomed and respected by the business community, he creates and fosters relationships lasting decades. Enjoy T.R.'s vivid details and fascinating cultural experiences of a country vastly different from what we know in the West--exotic, ancient, colorful, and rich in sights and sounds.

This study contextualizes magical realism within current debates and theories of postcoloniality and examines the fiction of three of its West African pioneers: Syl Cheney-Coker of Sierra Leone, Ben Okri of Nigeria and Kojo Laing of Ghana. Brenda Cooper explores the distinct elements of the genre in a West African context, and in relation to: * a range of global expressions of magical realism, from the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez to that of Salman Rushdie * wider contemporary trends in African writing, with particular attention to how the realism of authors such as Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka has been connected with nationalist agendas. This is a fascinating and important work for all those working on African literature, magical realism, or postcoloniality.

This monumental reference work—long awaited by collectors and scholars—fills an important gap in the available literature on oriental rugs. Lavishly illustrated with over 1000 photographs and drawings, it offers clear and precise definitions for the rug and textile terms in use across a broad swath of the globe—from Morocco to Turkey, Persia, the Caucasus region, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and China. Covering priceless museum-quality rug traditions as well as modern centers of production, Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins draws on classical scholarship as well as current terminology in use among producers and traders in these areas today. It focuses primarily on the rich hand-knotting and hand-weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, but also includes some examples of Scandinavian and Native American weavings. Oriental rugs are receiving ever-increasing attention and recognition in the field of art history. Tribal weavings especially have become a focus for new research, and Oriental Rugs provides a new understanding of many distinctive traditions that were previously understudied, such as the weavings of southwest Persia, Baluchistan and Kurdistan. This concise oriental rug reference book is a must-have for scholars and anyone serious about collecting rugs, selling rugs or the rug trade in general.

The spectacular arts and crafts of Morocco reflect a timeless mingling of influences from Moorish Spain, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East - all the exotic worlds that once congregated at this crossroads of ancient trading routes. Striking in its versatility and diversity, Moroccan art has long influenced artists, architects, and designers. This volume, superbly illustrated with more than 150 original color photographs, brings the dazzling splendor of a thriving artisan tradition to a wider and increasingly appreciative international audience. Vibrantly colored textiles; exquisitely crafted jewelry: finely worked leather, wood, metal; and an enormous collection of pottery and ceramics are all gathered together in this engaging guide by a leading Morroco scholar. These marvelous objects are inspired in form and content by the tribal lifestyle and powerful animistic beliefs of the nomadic artisans, as well as by the compelling aesthetic traditions of the Moslem world, giving each item's utility and remarkable beauty a spiritual resonance. With a lively text describing traditional artistic forms and techniques, and a comprehensive analysis of the belief systems, festivals, and ceremonies to which the arts are linked, Arts and Crafts of Morocco will prove irresistible not only to those intrigued by this fascinating land, but also to collectors, designers, and anyone in search of original decorative ideas.
