"Mountain Life in Algeria" by Edgar Barclay is a travel account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the author's exploration of the Kabylie region, a mountainous area inhabited by an indigenous Berber people distinct from the Arabs, and offers insights into their customs, landscape, and daily life. The author aims not only to inspire interest in this lesser-known region among potential tourists but also to document the beauty and simplicity of the kabyle lifestyle. At the start of the book, Barclay introduces the geography of Algeria and the unique culture of the Kabyle people, emphasizing their hospitality customs and traditional dwelling structures. He describes his preparations to traverse the mountainous terrain with his companion Muirhead, as well as their amusing encounters with local inhabitants. The duo sets out on their journey to the Aïth Ménguellath tribe and begins to observe the scenic beauty of the region, noting the flourishing landscapes, the agricultural practices of the Kabyles, and their rustic lifestyle that seems to retain elements of ancient rural communities.
