Fantastically readable and intriguing book about the marshlands of Iraq and the Arabs who inhabited them, living in an aquatic manner (and operating a water-based economy) quite unlike the arid lands/desert lifestyle usually associated with Middle East Arabs. Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein drained most of these marshes because he knew the inhabitants would not bend to the ways of modern Iraq unless their water was taken away. Thankfully, we have the remarkable Wilfrid Thesiger to tell us about those days.Interesting companion reading (and more customary of what we think of as "Arabia"): ARABIAN SANDS, also by Wilfrid Thesiger.Arabian Sands (Penguin Classics).
What a delightful read. Thesiger lived among the marsh Madan of Iraq several months of each year between 1951 to 1958. As he traveled thru the marshes by boat, he introduces the reader to the many friends he made and to the culture of a people he came to love. Since the marshes were drained to make way for "progress" and prosperity, this forgotten world is no more.
An excellent read; the writing style is both descriptive and engaging, and the story itself fascinating. The book includes over a hundred photographic plates which augment the story tremendously, especially for the amazing reed mudhifs which are frequently the setting. (The photos and more can be found in the Pitt Rivers Museum collection).I have not yet read Arabian Sands but reviews of that earlier work complained about Thesiger's primitivism and romanticization of the Bedouin - I didn't see much of that in this book, only shades, and overall the telling is fairly forthright and balanced. Clearly Thesiger is no fan of modernization, but relative to the conditions in more urban Iraq at the time, there are no clear "rights" or "wrongs" on this position. In any event, it doesn't get in the way of the narrative, which captures a disappearing culture in rich depth and perspective.
This book, like Arabian Sands, captures the essence of a culture that is long lost. Thesiger had a knack for totally immersing himself into the lives of the people he chose to live among. As a result, we get a real feel for those lives. This is great, old time escapism.
Wilfred is long gone; but his books last forever. He takes us into a little-known corner of the world and does it well. Saddam Hussein drained these marshes, but you can visit them in this book.
Not up to Arabian sands standards
Marvelous book. A clear and unbiased view of a lost way of life.
Great book-not as good as other one, but still worth reading.
