The details of the life of Bedouins,leaders of tribes in the countryside.The struggle to work with Turkish leaders,and French.His failures,and his successes,all intertwined for the love of Egypt.If he succeeded he was resented, if he failed he was a failure to French and the entire archeological world.Nevertheless he succeeded,and how.Very easy to read and not heavy at all.The Pharaohs were his companions,and the desert was his home. |
