Moi, Augusta Vidal: Roman (Souffles roman) (French Edition)

<p>To what extent is our civilization likely to affect Arabia's nomads, the Bedouins? How is it likely to alter their customs and their traditional way of life? To shed some light on the lifestyle, the dignity and the spirit of these desert people, the author and his wife Danielle, lead us - forty years after the famous explorer Wilfred Thesiger - on the edge of the mountains and the dunes of the Rub Al Khali, the largest sandy desert in the world. Unique photographs illustrate their seven year long adventure, sharing the everyday life of different tribes and their enduring friendship with these remarkable men, their womenfolk and children. In this account of their travels, the reader is given an insight into the courage and tenacity indispensable to such a difficult and sensitive endeavour. Throughout the world, the nomadic way of life is in danger. Going beyond the life of the Bedouins, the author shows the impact of modernity on traditional societies. The destiny of these people is under threat. He appeals to us to grant them our long overdue respect.</p>
