  <abstract>"The Cave Dwellers of Southern Tunisia: Recollections of a Sojourn with the Khalifa of Matmata" by Daniel Bruun is an ethnographic account written in the late 19th century. The work details the author’s journey through Southern Tunisia, focusing on the unique lifestyle and traditions of the Berber tribes, particularly those living in cave dwellings. It offers insights into the interactions between the author and the local Khalifa, presenting a vivid depiction of the region's culture and customs.  The opening of the book introduces the author's mission, which is primarily research-driven, aimed at purchasing ethnographical objects for a museum. From the outset, Bruun expresses gratitude towards various individuals and officials who facilitated his travels, hinting at the diplomatic backdrop of his journey. As he arrives in Tunis, he begins to outline the preparations for a voyage into the remote areas of Tunisia, where he expects to encounter Berber tribes. The narrative sets a tone of excitement and curiosity, inviting readers to explore the heritage and daily life of the cave dwellers he intends to visit.
