This is the story of the young bard Mid-e-Mid. famed throughout the
vast grazing lands of his Tuareg tribe for his mellifluous voice
and quick-witted lyrics. A coming-of-age novel, it follows
Mid-e-Mid in his bid to find his own route to manhood in true
Tuareg style. Overcoming poverty to win camels of his own, he
avenges the death of his father and wins the heart of his beloved,
only to find that the solitary life of the wandering minstrel is
his destiny. Written by Herbert Kaufmann, a German journalist who
lived in Africa in the 1950s and '60s, Red Moon & High Summer
is a fast-paced adventure story saturated in Tuareg lore. Though
fiction, it gives a truer and more vibrant picture of these
mysterious, nomadic people than many an academic volume.
