![]() To dream of a shield ( henafa) means the coming on of all sorts of misfortune, for this word, by a change of letters, gives koul afa, 'all bad luck.' The appearance of ostriches ( nâmate) in dreams is of bad augury, because their name being formed of nâb and mate, signifies 'news of death,' namely, peril. The sight of a lily ( sonsana) is the prognostication of a misfortune which will last a year ( son, misfortune sena, year). If he sees his nail ( defeur) reversed or upside down, this is an indication that the victory ( defeur) which he has gained over his enemies will change sides and from a victor, he will become the vanquished inversely, if he sees the nail of his enemy turned the wrong way, he can conclude that the victory which had been with his enemy will soon return to him. The teeth ( senane) represent years ( senine) if therefore a man sees in a dream a fine set of teeth, this is for him the sign of along life. I shall treat this subject more particularly in the explication of dreams. The man who dreams that his member has been cut off is certain not to live long after that dream, for, as said above, it presages the loss of his memory and the extinction of his race. The dekeur plays also an important part in dreams. When he dies they will say, 'His member has been cut off,' meaning, 'His memory is departed from the world.' When a man has met with an accident to his member, when it has been amputated, or has become weak, and he can, in consequence, no longer fulfil his conjugal duties, they say of him: 'the member of such an one is dead' which means: the remembrance of him will be lost, and his generation is cut off by the root. Dekeur is a word which signifies the male of all creatures, and is also used in the sense of 'mention' and 'memory'. KNOW, O Vizir (to whom God be good!), that man's member bears different names, as:Įl dekeur, the virile member El fortass, the bald one El kamera, the penis Abou aïne, he with one eye El aïr, the member for generation El atsar, the pusher El hamama, the pigeon El dommar, the odd-headed El teunnana, the tinkler Abou rokba, the one with a neck El heurmak, the indomitable Abou quetaïa, the hairy one El ahlil, the liberator El besiss, the impudent one El zeub, the verge El mostahi, the shame-faced one El hammache, the exciter El nâsse, the sleeper El bekkaï, the weeping one El zodamme, the crowbar El hezzaz, the rummager El khiade, the tailor El lezzaz, the unionist Mochefi el relil, the extinguisher of passion Abou lâaba, the expectorant El fattache, the searcher El khorrate, the turnabout El hakkak, the rubber El deukkak, the striker El mourekhi, the flabby one El âouame, the swimmer El motelâ, the ransacker El dekhal, the housebreaker El mokcheuf the discoverer El âouar, the one-eyedĪs regards the names of kamera and dekeur, their meaning is plain.

Nothing subtle or intriguing, all very obvious. There seems rather a lot of unexplained situations, and very obvious plot devices. It is written as two separate stories, which inevitably come together ish. It sometimes interferes with the flow of the story. There seems so many novels out just now using the device of split time. Although I was not aware of the utter brutality of the war, or that children had been sent back to Spain from England.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Not sure why it was called the Perfume Garden, I didn't find I knew much more about how perfume is produced, rather glossed over that aspect I felt.
