"By Desert Ways to Baghdad" by Louisa Jebb Wilkins is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's journey in the East, particularly focusing on her travels through Asia Minor and into the heart of Mesopotamia via Baghdad. The book promises a blend of personal reflections and cultural observations, as the author embarks on this adventure alongside her companion, who seeks health while exploring historical and religious sites. At the start of the narrative, the author describes the excitement and anticipation that accompanies their journey, setting out from Brusa with a sense of freedom and curiosity. The opening scenes depict the initial experiences of camping in the wilderness, offering insights into their interactions with local people and highlighting the contrasts between civilized life and the untamed beauty of the landscape. They reflect on the challenges of travel in the region, including the presence of brigands and the complexities of navigating unfamiliar cultures, all while uncovering the deeper meaning and personal growth that emerges from their adventure.
