Présentation de l'éditeur
Novnmsnn 8, 1903. If the following pages are ever to see the light of day it will be because they have been stolen from me. The delay that I exact before they shall be disclosed assures me of that.â As fo this disclosure, let no one distrust my aim when I prepare for nt, when I insist upon it. You may believe me when I maintain that no pride of authorship binds me to these pages. Already I am too far removed from all such things. Only it is useless that others should enter upon the path from which I shall not return. Four oâclock in the morning. Soon the sun will kindle the hamada with its pink lire. All about me the bordj is asleep. Through the half-open door of 1T his letter, together with the manuscript which accompanies it, the latter in a separate sealed envelope, was entrusted by Lieutenant FerriÃres, of the 3rd Spahis, the day of the departure of that oflicer for the Tassili of the Tuareg (C entral Sahara), to Sergeant Chatelain. The sergeant was instructed to deliver it, on his next leave, to M. Leroux, Honorary Counsel at the Court of Appeals at Rxorn, and Lieutenant FerriÃresâ nearest relative. As this magistrate died suddenly before the expiration of the term of ten years set for the publication of the manuscript here presented, difhculties arose which have delayed its publication up to the present date.

The classic novel of finding the Lost Atlantis, translated by Mary C. Tongue and Mary Ross. Also titled The Queen of Atlantis. Show Excerpt ess Sergeant at Sfax, with the 4th Spahis. I had a good record, and besides, as I did not drink, the Adjutant had assigned me to the officers' mess. It was a soft berth. The marketing, the accounts, recording the library books which were borrowed (there weren't many), and the key of the wine cupboard,--for with that you can't trust orderlies. The Colonel was young and dined at mess. One evening he came in late, looking perturbed, and, as soon as he was seated, called for silence: "'Gentlemen,' he said, 'I have a communication to make to you, and I shall ask for your advice. Here is the question. Tomorrow morning the City of Naples lands at Sfax. Aboard her is Captain de Saint-Avit, recently assigned to Feriana, en route to his post.' "The Colonel paused. 'Good,' thought I, 'tomorrow's menu is about to be considered.' For you know the custom, Lieutenant, which has existed ever since there have been any officers' clubs in Africa. When an officer is passing by, his comrades go to meet him

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book plunges into the heart of the Sahara Desert, a setting that has long captivated the imagination of explorers and writers. The author, a French military officer, narrates a personal journey that intertwines with the historical backdrop of European colonialism in North Africa. The story unfolds as the officer is assigned to a remote outpost in the desert, where he is unexpectedly joined by his former classmate, Captain de Saint-Avit. Saint-Avit, a decorated explorer with a mysterious past, brings with him a vast collection of books on ancient history and geography, hinting at a deeper purpose behind his mission. The author's unease grows as Saint-Avit becomes increasingly erratic and obsessed with the desert, ultimately revealing a dark secret ââ â the murder of his previous companion, Captain Morhange. The author's gripping account delves into themes of isolation, secrecy, and the psychological toll of extreme exploration. It raises questions about the nature of truth, the burdens of responsibility, and the seductive allure of the unknown. The book offers a haunting glimpse into the depths of the human psyche and the powerful hold that the Sahara Desert can exert on those who venture into its vastness.
