De l'Afrique Noire au Maghreb, Sahara témoigne d'une région qui bien que désertique, n'en est pas moins pleine de vie. C'est un spectaculaire voyage au travers des huit pays appartenant à ce territoire que nous propose ici le photographe Basil Pao. D'une beauté impressionnante, le désert est marqué par la vitalité et la riche diversité de ses peuples et de ses traditions. Ce sont ces richesses que présente ce livre : paysages somptueux, visages et regards émouvants, concentrée... D'une beauté incomparable, le Sahara est aussi le lieu de l'activité de l'homme qui, même sous ce climat d'une rigueur extrême, refuse de disparaître. Loin de se résumer à son immensité et à l'infinité de ses dunes de sable, la rencontre avec cette région s'avère envoûtante et inoubliable
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.
