| Summary | "Le Tour du Monde; Bou Hedma" by Various is a travel journal written in the early 20th century. This work provides descriptions and narratives of various regions, focusing on Bou Hedma in southern Tunisia, highlighting the experiences of the travelers as they explore this less-traveled area and its cultural aspects. At the start of the narrative about Bou Hedma, the author describes his journey from Sfax to the region, detailing the barren landscape interspersed with small villages, starting at a train station named Mazouna. Accompanied by local Arab servants, he embarks on horseback across the tough terrain, facing challenges like navigating the harsh sunlight and the consequences of a panicked camel. The environment transitions from desolate desert to surprising verdant patches, particularly near the oued (river) Hadedj, where he finds a lush area with hot springs. The author also reflects on the historical remnants of ancient human settlements encountered along the way, integrating local interactions that reveal cultural insights about the nomadic and semi-settled populations of the area. Throughout his travels, the stark contrasts between the harsh landscape and areas of unexpected beauty are emphasized, creating a vivid depiction of this unique region.
