Le voyage de Sa’id al-Suwaysi – nous presente un recit captivant et plein de suspense qui nous mene de Jaffa au Canal de Suez que nous traversons dans un navire ottoman pour accoster a Mokha; nous accompagnons ensuite l’auteur dans ses peregrinations dans le Sud du Yaman, d’al-Mukha a Ta’izz; nous visitons les montagnes de la region, avec leurs villages et nous residons dans un certain nombre de villes tout le long de six ans. Ce recit de voyage rapporte ce que tout autre ouvrage du genre n’a pu rapporter: des recits de guet-apens, des expeditions punitives dans les coins les plus recules de l’Arabie Heureuse a la fi n du XIXe siecle, mais aussi nous penetrons dans la maison d’un yemenite musulman de Ta’izz; nous assistons a ses repas, nous participons a ses veillees et a ses soirees de fete; nous jetons un coup d’oeil sur sa chambre a coucher; nous consommons du qat avec les habitants locaux. Nous sommes donc en presence d’un document de premiere main d’une importance certaine pour la connaissance de la civilisation materielle et celle des paysages d’une contree mysterieuse qui ne se laisse decouvrir a des yeux etrangers qu’apres des efforts ardus et prolonges. This book offers an account of a journey that Sa’id al- Suwasi- undertook from Jaffa to the Suez Canal, from Mokha to Ta’izz in the Jemen Highlands. It gives insights in customs and material culture of Arabic peoples at the end of the 19th century.
