Autoren-Porträt von Tim Mackintosh-Smith
Tim Mackintosh-Smith's first book, YEMEN: TRAVELS IN DICTIONARY LAND won the 1998 Thomas Cook/Daily Telegraph Travel Book Award and is now regarded as a classic of Arabian description. His books on Ibn Battutah's adventures in the old Islamic world and in India have all received huge critical acclaim. LANDFALLS was awarded the Oldie Best Travel Award in 2010 and the Ibn Battutah Prize of Honour by the Arab Centre for Geographical Literature. His journeys in search of Ibn Battutah have also been turned into a major BBC television series. For the past twenty-five years his home has been the Yemeni capital San'a, where he lives in a tower-house on top of the ancient Sabaean city and next door to the modern donkey market.

Rezension zu „Yemen “
'Mackintosh-Smith's achievement is to create an entertaining and enlightened view of Yemen, free from the familiar prejudices about Arabs, touched instead by sophistication and savagery, by grim reality and fabulous tales ... masterful' -- Sunday Times 'Yemen ... is assured and agile: witty, quirky, gossipy, learned, poetic ... [Tim Mackintosh-Smith] has created a work that will endure' -- The Times 'Mackintosh-Smith seems incapable of writing a dull sentence, and in him the scholar, the linguist and the storyteller swap hats with marvellous speed' -- New York Times 'Mackintosh-Smith succeeds admirably in shining a light on an obscure corner of the world' -- Financial Times 'He freshens the genre, adding a street-wise sensibility to impressive erudition ... very promising and accomplished' -- Times Literary Supplement
