A propos du livre

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.
