"In the Land of Mosques & Minarets" by Francis Miltoun is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the author's explorations and experiences across North Africa, particularly focusing on Algeria and Tunisia, and it aims to provide a vivid portrayal of the region's culture, landscapes, people, and contrasts in lifestyle. Through personal anecdotes and observations, the author invites readers to experience the rich tapestry of sights and sounds, from the majestic mosques to the bustling bazaars. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the challenges of traveling in North Africa, acknowledging the discomforts and limitations while simultaneously highlighting the allure of the exotic landscape.
