Dear Reader,

 

Are you an ex-pat? Did you serve in the military? The foreign service? The Peace Corps? Did you study abroad? Did you participate in The Experiment in International

Living or American Field Service? Did you

spent a semester abroad? Were you a missionary? Are you a serious traveler? Did you ever travel to Libya? Or do you just love entertaining and biographies about exotic locales? This may well be the book for you!

 

Where else can you kaleidoscopically absorb an entire country through the eyes of 101 people . . .


. . . in an über-memoir of a Woodstock generation of Peace Corps volunteers thrust across the vast sands of Libya? How
else can you immerse yourself in the riveting challenges, triumphs, hilarities and poignancies experienced by this mix of
dedicated English teachers from every corner of America?

101 Arabian Tales is an amazingly detailed chronicle of anecdotes, historical perspectives, fun, adventure and hardship. Hobler’s breezy whimsical style is accessible
and entertaining. The icing on the cake? 220 compelling illustrative photographs.
