Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life-History of a Brahui I shall tell the tale as it was told to me, jealously preserving its refreshing naïveté, its intimacy, and boldness of detail. Mirza Shër Muhammad, who told it me, is himself a Brahui - a member of the Zahri tribe, and hence a Jhalawan. He began life, like several of his forefathers before him, in the service of the Khan of Kalat, the head of the Brahui Confederacy; he is now in our Government service. He has travelled the length and breadth of the Brahui country, cunningly stocking his mind, wherever he went, with the curious lore of his people. His knowledge of all that concerns the Brahuis and their country is remarkably rich; more remarkable to me are his power of giving expression to it, and the detached attitude he is able to adopt towards his own customs. He is, by-the-by, one of the very few Brahuis who are literate. The story, of course, was not told to me in the flowing form in which it now appears. It was told piecemeal and at odd moments, sometimes spontaneously, sometimes in answer to my questions. Though it has taken many months in the telling, it is not complete. How, indeed, could it be? The Brahuis are scattered over a wide stretch of country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
