About this title: Loti's sensitive, almost sensuous, and exotic art is peculiarly fitted for such a subject as "the great sea without water," and the Spahi on the Senegal, of romantic passion and seductive smile, "undisciplined but not dissolute," whose love adventures range from sordid and riotous town affairs to his passionate desert romance with Fatou-Gaye.
