We offer you an excerpt from the story "Tell me how you live" by the famous English writer Agatha Christie in the book she talks about the Yazidis.

The book of memoirs "Come, tell me how you live" was written during the war. It was written in snatches from the diaries that Mrs. Christie had kept diligently throughout her middle Eastern expeditions with her archaeologist husband. As she would later write in her Autobiography, she was driven to take up her pen by longing for the happy 30 years spent traveling, longing for her husband, from whom she was separated by the war, and a longing to resurrect the happy days of the past.

In her story " Come, tell me how you live", Agatha Christie speaks with sympathy about the Yazidis, talks about their honesty and meekness: "They say that in those places people are so unspoiled that a woman can bathe naked in a stream without fear or shame…

Suddenly, the white pointed domes of the temple open. Everything around breathes silence. Lots of trees."

She talks about the Lalish temple, which impressed her very much with its Holy atmosphere: "I do not want to come back from this mountain sanctuary in our crazy world... I will never forget this Church — how not to forget the deep peace, in the autumn of my spirit..."

It also says that the Yezidis of the surrounding Nations are hostile to them, since they think fans of the "evil spirit". Of course, she describes what she heard, and, despite this, tries to understand the essence of the worldview of the Yazidis.

After Agatha Christie studied the worldview of the Yazidis, she concluded that they are not fans of the evil spirit, all this is slander on the part of hostile tribes.

She finds the Yazidis very peaceful people – «They are an amazing, very quiet and peaceful people».
