The Sahara
Author: Pierre Loti
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Pierre Loti's novella, 'The Sahara', paints a vivid picture of a desolate city on the coast of West Africa, cut off from the sea by a ridge of breakers. The only means of communication with the outside world are long pirogues manned by muscular and agile workers who row standing up, bringing mail and supplies to the isolated city. The city's isolation has caused it to stagnate, leaving its inhabitants feeling cut off from the rest of the world. Loti's powerful descriptions of the harsh desert landscape and the people who inhabit it create a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for the story's exploration of isolation and stagnation.

Custom Table of Contents and Design elements for each chapter The Copyright page has been placed at the end of the book, as to not impede the content and flow of the book. ABOUT THE BOOK: Original publication: 1863 Book 1 A scholar and explorer, Dr. Samuel Fergusson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend professional hunter Richard "Dick" Kennedy, sets out to travel across the African continent — still not fully explored — with the help of a balloon filled with hydrogen. The trip begins in Zanzibar on the east coast, and passes across Lake Victoria, Lake Chad, Agadez, Timbuktu, Djenné and Ségou to St Louis in modern-day Senegal on the west coast. The book describes the unknown interior of Africa near modern-day Central African Republic as a desert, when it is actually savanna. A good deal of the initial exploration is to focus on the finding of the source of the Nile. The second leg is to link up the other explorers. There are numerous scenes of adventure, composed of either a conflict with a native or a conflict with the environment, including Rescuing a missionary from tribal sacrifice, running out of water while stranded without a wind over the Sahara, an attack on the balloon by bearded vultures, rescuing Joe later, and narrowly escaping the remnants of a militant army as the balloon dwindles to nothingness with the loss of hydrogen. Chapters 44 Words: 91,000 This book is great for schools, teachers and students or for the casual reader, and makes a wonderful addition to any classic literary library ABOUT US: At Pure Snow Publishing we have taken the time and care into formatting this book to make it the best possible reading experience.

The Sahara
Author: Eamonn Gearon
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1908493178
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The Sahara is the quintessence of isolation, epitomizing both remoteness and severity of environment unlike any other place on the face of the earth. Replete with myths and fictions, it is a wild land, dotted with oases and camel trains trudging through sand dunes that roll like the waves on a sea, as far as the distant horizon. But this is just part of the picture. The largest desert in the world, the Sahara ranges from the river Nile running through Egypt and Sudan in the east, to the Atlantic coast from Morocco to Mauritania in the west; stretching from the Atlas Mountains and the shores of the Mediterranean in the north, to the fluid Sahelian fringe that delineates the desert in the south. Invaders and traders have come and gone for millennia, but the Sahara is also the place that some people call home. While larger than the United States, this vast area contains only three million people. Africans and Arabs, Berber and Bedu, Tuareg and Tebu. Eamonn Gearon explores the history, culture and terrain of a place whose name is familiar to all, but known to few.
