Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier: A Record of Sixteen Years of Intimate Relations with the Natives of the Indian Countryside is a fascinating essay by Theodore Leighton Pennell. The book tells about life in areas where various cultures and tribes meet, about the uniqueness and difficulty of communicating with local residents. The author reveals to the reader not only the ethnographic features of the region, but also the spiritual world of the inhabitants and their traditions. This book is a valuable document about the interaction of people from different worlds and the differences that unite us as humanity.
