Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the destructive aftermath of his shipwreck in the treacherous African desert, Archibald Robbins finds himself ensnared by a nomadic Arab tribe. Beginning a torturous odyssey as an enslaved captive, Robbins dives deep into the enigmatic world of the wandering Bedouin, learning the Arab language as well as their intimate knowledge of traversing the perilous sands. Amidst the dunes, facing both the unforgiving elements and the still more barbaric slave trade, Robbins finds unity among his fellow captives, and eventually even gains the respect of one master, who recognizes his resilience and intelligence. Yet, even as Robbins comes to understand and appreciate his captors, he never abandons his dream of freedom and escape.
