In the tail of the peacock

A quiet, lyrical portrait of early‑twentieth‑century Morocco unfolds through the eyes of a thoughtful traveler who prefers stillness to spectacle. The narrative drifts from bustling markets in Tangier and Tetuan to the serene camps set against the distant hills, capturing moments that most visitors overlook. Accompanied by forty‑eight vivid photographs, the book invites listeners to linger on veiled women at city gates, the rhythmic labor of camel‑driven water‑wheels, and the soft glow of desert‑edge evenings.

Rather than chasing danger, the author celebrates the simple rhythms of daily life—tea‑houses, modest villages, and the patient patience required to move along worn caravan routes. Readers who find beauty in unhurried observation will be drawn to the gentle humor and reflective musings that turn ordinary scenes into intimate memories. The work offers a window onto a world where the “silent places” speak louder than any grand adventure, letting the listener wander through Morocco’s quiet corners with curiosity and calm.
