Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Carthage and Tunis, and threw into relief the ruins of the vast Roman aqueduct which stretched like the bleached vertebrae of some gigantic serpent across the desolate plain, and jewelled with patches of green and red the masses of fallen masonry which constitute the ruins of Carthage. The coloured fragments were bits of ancient Numidian marbles which the light of the Southern moon, so like the quiet light of early morning, had not robbed of their beauty. The hushed sense of A frica, with its soundless deserts, its buried cities and civilizations, filled the listening distance. The white-domed tombs of Mohammedan saints and the white-vaulted cisterns which gave Punic Carthage its waters were the two arrestive features in the landscape. A girl and a man, both English, were wandering over the classic ground. Far behind them was a Sahara Arab in his desert dress smoking a scented cigarette.
