Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh by Lisl Dennis, Morocco is an exhilarating combination of vivid sensuality guest house marrakesh and intense spirituality, an intoxicating blend of cultures. Berber, Arab, French, English, guest house marrakesh and Spanish: the country's rich mixture of heritages is matched by its geography, which ranges from coast to mountain to desert. This revised edition of Living in Morocco celebrates the indigenous arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance. Morocco is known for fine leather guest house marrakesh and for pottery that dates back a thousand years. Berber rugs are justly famous, guest house marrakesh and there is a thriving tradition of woodworking, especially in the native thuya wood. Most extraordinary, though, is Morocco's decorative painting guest house marrakesh and tilework, where, forbidden by religion to depict human figures, craftsmen have developed a vocabulary of pattern guest house marrakesh and ornament. The book is filled with brightly colored ceilings, decorated courtyards guest house marrakesh and walls, plaster of Paris carved guest house marrakesh and painted in intricate geometrics, tiles so small that 150 could fit in a matchbox. Lavishly illustrated chapters on decorative guest house marrakesh and folk arts alternate with chapters on Moroccan life today. We visit Chaouen in the Rif Mountains (a city only recently open to Westerners), where the town's undulating surfaces are painted a bone-chilling blue-tinted white. We peer into an abandoned kasbah in the Sahara, guest house marrakesh and absorb the sights, sounds, guest house marrakesh and smells of the frenzied souk. We take time out in the shady blue-and-pink environs of the Majorelle Gardens, laid out by French painter Jacques Majorelle, guest house marrakesh and explore the story behind La Mamounia, the famous hotel that has welcomed such guests as Winston Churchill. Most important, we see Morocco's arts brought to life in its homes -- from former harems totraditional Hispano-Moorish houses.
