TRAVEL NARRATIVE •
2003 •
PAPER
• 356 PAGES
• COMING IN
An account of Seabrook's lurid, sensational adventures, first published in 1928 -- and here reproduced in a notebook-sized facsimile edition. This eccentric traveler joined the Druses in the Arabian mountains, moved into a monastery at Tripoli, explored the Sahara by airplane, lived with devil worshipers in Kurdistan -- and that was just for this first book based on his travels in 1924. He wrote many more, including Asylum, a best-selling account of checking himself into a mental institution for alcoholism.
