of what he hates in the whites, theii
lying, their cruelty, their unreasonable
ness, their hypocrisy. And he erie:
out against taking the Negro to far of
lands to fight for the savage of the
whites and if they protest they are i'm
prisoned or hung. There are no serfs
nor chiefs, whites or blacks, only men
and all men are brothers" So he gives
his philosophy, And in the mean
while the French commant, who has
been asked for medical aid to help
save this chiefs life, replies with
charming candor that he should be
glad to have Batouala die and all his
people with him.
The plot of Batouala is the eternal
French triangle, husband, a wife and
lover The husband, the chief Ba-
touala, has a favorite wife Yassiguinja,
who becomes enamoured of his friend
Bissibingui The husband in his jeal-
ousy determines to kill Bissibingui and
when they are together in the hut,
"and such marvellous description of
hut as this is" throws his knife at
his rival, while appearing to throw it
at a panther who is near Bissibingui.
The knife misses its aim, and the pan
ther turns upon Batouala and with one
stroke of his paw tears open his body.
The end of the great chief is mag
nihcent. He is silent after the delirium
in which he inveighs against the
French Only his little dog is with
him, a snarling little red dog, one of
the most real figures in the story. 1t
is night, Yassiguinja is in her hut and
with her his rival. He sees them en-
bracing one another. His jealousy
gives him strength, and rising to his
feet, like an infant taking its first
steps, he advances toward the pair who
rush apart and stand against the wall, |
their teeth chattering with terror. But
Batouala has no further strength, and
like a great tree in the forest, he falls
to the ground. AT the sound the
ducks quack, the hens cackle, the little
red dog growls without opening his
eyes, the ants, at work in their houses
in the brown earth make a grating
sound. And Yassiguinja and Bissi-
bingui fee into the night. Little by
little the sounds die away and sleep
falls upon all Silence and solitude
Keep watch, Batouala, the majestic
night Is over you. Sleep. Sleep"
The book is great literature but it
describes things sexual with a partic-
llarity that is untranslatable. One
who has read much of Africa knows,
however, that the great festival that
lnder French rule has become merely
IN orgy, once had deep religious sig
lihcance. The story pictures a print
i've people corrupted by European in
luence, between two worlds, one dead
he other not yet born. And if the
french ever do bring spiritual life to
quatorial Africa, If Christ and not
he devil of commercial exploitation |
yer rule in it, few natives, if we are
o credit Maran, will profit by the ]
hange. Every year they are dying at T
he hands of that modern civilization
hat white men are taught not to ques-
on but to uphold and revere. !
