Selected chapters from the travels of Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq
When the reader opens these pages, they are not merely reading a travel diary. They are accompanying a cultured prince on his journeys, which were not an aristocratic pastime, but rather an endeavor to understand the world and grasp the spirit of peoples. Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq, a member of the Alawite family, combined a passion for discovery with the curiosity of a researcher, leaving us a rare record of journeys spanning decades, between East and West, North and South. In his book "The Japanese Journey," the prince delves into the heart of rising Asia, contemplating the reasons for Japan's rise after its victory over Russia. In "A Journey to the Island of Java," he records his meticulous observations of the lives of the population under Dutch occupation. "A Summer Journey to Bosnia and Herzegovina" is an emotional and human document that reveals his fascination with the ethnic diversity and enchanting nature of that country. In "A Journey to South Africa," "A Journey to North and South America," and "A Journey to Australia," he transports us to distant continents, where he meets people, visits schools, and traces the impact of civilization on the details of daily life, from agriculture and industry to culture and education. At every stop, the prince observed and contemplated, not with the eyes of a tourist, but with the eyes of a man who sees in knowledge a path to renaissance, and in a deep understanding of the world a gateway to understanding oneself, history, and destiny. Among his sayings is, "I did not travel in search of comfort, but out of a longing to know and see, for the eye that does not see the vastness of the world is constricted by what it possesses."
