In this classic of travel writing, first published sixty years ago,
a Danish journalist records his experience of life in North Africa
under colonial rule. Driving through the Sahara in a battered
Chevrolet, having converted to Islam and with a knowledge of
Arabic, he leaves the beaten track to discover communities and
landscapes shrouded in mystery for centuries. Brushes with
magicians, cave-dwellers and Sufi mystics, however, prove less
astonishing than the cruelties inflicted on the local populations
by Mussolini's generals.
