Au Sahara : Illustré d'après des photographies de l'auteur

A restless French traveler, spurred by a tempting letter from Algeria, abandons the gentle Parisian suburbs for a restless voyage across the Mediterranean. The first leg lands in a chilly Algerian port where the sea glints green, the wind bites, and bustling quays teem with a lively mix of locals and Europeans. From the crowded docks to the rhythmic clatter of night trains, the narrator sketches vivid scenes of market stalls, sun‑baked streets, and the everyday hustle that feels both exotic and familiar.

The journey soon pushes deeper into the Sahara’s stark beauty. Riding from oasis town to desert outpost, the author records the ever‑changing dunes, the silent endurance of Bedouin caravans, and the unique customs of the desert peoples. Accompanied by his own photographs, each page offers a richly illustrated glimpse of a world where heat, sand, and sky dominate, inviting listeners to share the wonder of an early explorer’s eye for detail and his lingering sense of awe.
