«A Reed Shaken by the Wind» is Gavin Maxwell's travel account of the Iraqi marshes, published by Penguin in 1983 in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Gavin Maxwell lives among the Arabs of the southern Iraqi marshes and portrays their daily life in a labyrinth of channels and reed beds: villages of reed huts, traditional boats, water buffalo breeding, and ancestral customs that were beginning to disappear.
The work was originally published in 1957; this 1983 edition belongs to the Penguin Travel Library collection.
For readers of travel literature and Middle Eastern history, with an interest in traditional rural cultures.
