Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the experiences of Archibald Robbins, an American sailor whose ship was wrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815. After escaping to land, Robbins was captured and enslaved by a group of nomadic Arabs. The book details the harrowing 19 months Robbins spent in captivity, describing the customs, beliefs, and hardships he encountered while traveling with his captors through the unforgiving Sahara Desert. Robbins' firsthand account offers a rare glimpse into a hidden world, revealing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity and the complexities of a culture vastly different from his own. Along the way, the book explores themes of survival, cultural exchange, and the indomitable power of hope in the face of despair.
