Synopsis

A sweeping adventure of danger, wit, and faraway discovery
A spirited doctor, Dr. J. B. Quies, finds himself far from home when a routine crossing becomes a bewildering trek across the African desert. This edition follows his uncanny misadventures, from a bustling caravan camp to the heart of the unknown, as he stumbles into a world of camels, sand, and strangers who speak in unfamiliar tongues. The STARTLING EXPLOITS OF DR. J. B. QUIÈS blends humor with high-stakes travel, chasing clues about where he is and who he can trust.

This is a tale told with a vivid, bite‑sized clarity that makes the setting feel immediate. Readers will ride along with Quies as he confronts miscommunication, unexpected allies, and moments of sheer astonishment, all while clinging to a sense of home and memory that keeps him grounded amid the upheaval.

• Meet a bold, resourceful doctor whose quick thinking keeps him moving through a bewildering landscape.


• Experience a frontier world of caravans, tents, and desert skies, where every exchange holds meaning.


• Watch humor and danger collide as Quies navigates language barriers and cultural surprises.


• Feel the pull of memory and hope as he seeks a path back to familiar shores.

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic adventure tales, travel‑pieces with a dash of mystery, and stories where science, curiosity, and tenacity drive the journey.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Neither have I conceived the notion of adding anything to the sum of human knowledge ;but, although no instruction of a scientific, industrial, or moral character is to be obtained from these startling exploits, they are perfectly inoffensive. That I shall not be suspected of desiring to turn science and savants into ridicule, I feel assured. I ardently admire the former, I profoundly respect the latter, and I protest that I have not for one moment entertained an idea of assailing the rightful position of either. Bearing in mind that it has been well said of books, Every kind is good except the tiresome kind, I have written my book with a simple-minded intention to avoid boring my readers. P. C.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
