- Henry de Monfreid became a legend in his own lifetime for his exploits in the Red Sea and Ethiopia during the early decades of the last century. After returning to France from East Africa in 1947 he settled in Ingrandes, a picturesque village in the Vallée de l’Anglin, Indre-en-Berry, where he remained until his death in 1974 at the age of 95. He is buried in La Franqui, Aude, where he was born. [from al-bab.com]

They are treated very straightforwardly as human beings with all the normal positive and negative qualities of human beings, who simply happen to have grown up in a different cultural, geographic and economic setting from the (presumably) European reader. Monfried knows the people he is writing about and broadly understands how they come to have certain attitudes and ways of behaving that might be quite different from "ours", and he manages to present them as people whose problems we can identify with. But of course he's writing in 1969, and by that time European writers couldn't take their right to speak on behalf of non-European characters for granted any more, so we look a bit more critically, and realise that despite his obvious affection and sympathy, he's a product of the times he grew up in, and can't help being crass and patronising from time to time. And that's before we even start on his female characters...… (plus d'informations)
