Michael Palin's superb No. 1 bestseller about his incredible voyage
across the Sahara. Michael Palin's epic voyages have seen him
circumnavigate the globe, travel from the North to the South Pole
and circle the countries of the Pacific Ocean, but this was perhaps
the greatest challenge yet: to cross the vast and merciless Sahara
desert. As the journey unfolds, the Sahara reveals not the
emptiness of endless sand dunes, but a huge and diverse range of
cultures and landscapes and a long history of commerce and conquest
stretching from the time of the ancient Egyptians to the oil-rich
Islamic republics of today. On his way, he encounters dangers such
as camel stew, being run over by the Paris-Dakar rally and Dakar
nightlife, as well as returning to the original spot where THE LIFE
OF BRIAN was filmed.
