Description: This is a translation of the novel written by a French military officer, Said Guennoun, in 1934. It is more than a novel, for it combines fiction with historical events which took place during the French colonial expansion in the Middle Atlas mountains in the first quarter of the 20th century. The author tries to describe the way the Moroccan Berbers (Imazighen) interacted with the European civilization. -- Back cover.
Notes: Includes glossary (p. 214-223).
