"Au bord du Désert: L'âme arabe (à Pierre Loti); Impressions; Souvenirs" by Jean Aicard is a collection of impressions and memories written in the late 19th century. The work explores the cultural and emotional landscape of Arab identity and experiences in Algeria and Tunisia, reflecting on the author's personal journey and interactions with the local people. Through a series of observations and poetic expressions, Aicard delves into the essence of what he
perceives as the "soul of the Arab." At the start of the book, the author reflects on his travels through North Africa, recounting his experiences in various locations such as Biskra and Tunis. He describes engaging with local customs, individuals, and landscapes, articulating a deep appreciation for the culture while also engaging in personal musings about the simplicity and magnificence of the Arab soul. Aicard expresses a sense of kinship with the people he encounters, sharing conversations, feelings, and a broader commentary on the relationship between colonizers and the colonized, ultimately aiming to advocate for a more profound respect and understanding of Arab dignity and heritage.
