Summary/Abstract: Muhammad Ali Pasha (Muḥammad ʽAlī Bāšā) (1875-1954) is the author of a travelogue Summer Trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina (Riḥla al-ṣayf ̓ ilā bilād al-Busnah wa al-Harsak) that had been composed during his brief trip through Bosnia and Herzegovina in summer of 1900th year. This paper deals with the travelogue as natural narrative, primarily on the basis of the natural narrative and natural narratology as presented by Monika Fludernik, as wellas in light of other narratological views that prove spontaneous narrative in this travelogue, then its closeness and similarity to oral narrative and the like. Special attention is given to the analysis of mentioned travelogue as a narrative of personal experience and narrative of vicarious experience, as well as to the kind of expressed descriptions, the relationship between memory and perception and to the elements of institutionalized narrative.
