AMONG THE TUAREG
THE LAND OF VEILED MEN, by Peter Fuchs; Weidenfeld and Nicholson, English price 18/-. ETER FUCHS is a young German ethnologist who went with two companions to stay for six months in, the -Hoggar district of the Sahara to study
the Tuareg tribe. His . book is not a diary of the expedition with all the usual details of difficulties and discomforts; it is a collection of individual studies of the tribesmen, their habits and ways. Each chapter | is virtually independent, © so that the book can be — picked up and put down at will. I found the putting down anything but easy. The translation by Bice Fawcett is so smooth and competent | that one is conscious of | a jolt on reading phrases | like-‘*we Germans." Anyone who has read Tefedest will be doubly | interested to compare the impressions of this German party. with> those of the French |
author.
