Show more"This volume contains a selection of short stories from two volumes by Mme. Henriette Celarie. They are sketches more than short stories, attempting to show without preamble cross-sections of native Moroccan women's lives, as told to and discovered by the alertly interested wife of a French officer living for years in that country. Each story is rigorously true. Differing perhaps from the usual romantic picture, their flavor of reality can be even more impressive. This is Morocco, static, fluid, potential."--Foreword. The girl possessed of a djinn -- "In the name of Allah I divorce thee" -- A child's kidnapping -- Batoul explains how a woman deceives her husband -- The vengeance of Fatima -- "Asleep in the bosom of its mother" -- An escape from the harem -- Fair Aicha -- The slaves of Caid Omar -- What happened to Mahjoub and the recommendation that had been given him -- In the home of Si Abderrahamen -- Thou hast only to drop this powder into the water he drinks" -- Khadidja's two husbands -- Halima's first marriage -- The Marrakech prisons -- An evening with Si Taher Ben Mohamed -- The Little shepherdess of the Atlas -- Ramadan. translated and adapted by Constance Lily Morris ; from the books of Henriette Celarié ; with pictures by Boris Artzybasheff.
