Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tunisia and the Modern Barbary Pirates The authorities on Tunisia are not worth enumerating. Those in English belong to a former generation; those in French are prejudiced and stupid. A Frenchman is either an hireling scribe, glorifying the blunders of his country under the specious nickname of civilization, or a tedious tourist, whose soul cannot soar above the details of his provender and his flea-bites. He will exclaim over a telegraph pole or squander sentiment upon the memory of a sandwich, but for instruction, description, wit or common sense we must look elsewhere. Accordingly, I may claim to cover new ground. It is possible that I may he deemed pessimistic, but I am at the least unprejudiced. Until I had travelled into the interior of Tunisia, I was disposed to believe that the French might be doing a work feebly analogous to our own in India and Egypt.
