Recognition In Morocco
Recognition in Morocco is the newspaper's road trip undertaken by Charles de Foucauld in Morocco in 1883 - 1884.
For twelve months former military travels Morocco, with a "book of five centimeters square" and a "pencil along two centimeters." To gather the information that interested without arousing suspicion, the young explorer had disguised himself as rabbi. The book is then written in the year 1885 , the year preceding his religious conversion. It was published in Paris in 1888.
The success of this trip is due in part to the help of Mordechai Aby Serour , a rabbi traveler, who did not draw virtually no recognition.
Written in a very sober, this newspaper is a wealth of information ethnological, geographical, linguistic and historical. This book will be worth at Charles de Foucauld the gold medal of the Geographical Society of Paris.
This newspaper is deemed to have been of great use for the conquest of Morocco and the establishment of French protectorate.
He offered his friend Henry Duveyrier three notebooks containing 131 sketches in pencil, as a token of friendship.
