«Arenas de Arabia» is the travel book by Wilfred Thesiger, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (478 pages, in Spanish).
The book recounts the five-year expedition Thesiger began in 1945 through the Empty Quarter of the Arabian desert. Accompanied by Bedouins, he learned to endure hunger, thirst and the dunes, and left testimony of a nomadic world now vanished, with its hospitality, fraternity and dignity in the face of an extreme landscape.
The work was originally published as 'Arabian Sands' in 1959; the Spanish translation is by Gracia Rodríguez.
For readers interested in exploration, Middle Eastern history and adventure literature.
