Sahara
by Michael Palin
Michael Palin's personality is a combination of some very disparate
elements, many of them displayed at their most attractive in Sahara. There's
the friendly, avuncular manner; the easy-going charm that women find so
attractive; and that vein of surrealistic, sardonic humour that is the
legacy of his Monty Python days. All these characteristics combined to
create the perfect host for the ambitious travel programmes with which
he's latterly been associated. The shows (and the handsome companion books
that invariably accompany them) avoid the sometimes over-serious approach
of other presenters and show us some very exotic parts of the world filtered
through Palin's very idiosyncratic vision. Audiences and readers can't
get enough.
Sahara gives us the latest of his epic voyages, and this one possibly
represents the most arduous challenge of his career: across the massive
and unforgiving Sahara desert. In this beautifully produced volume (studded
with some eye-catching colour photographs), we are taken on a unique journey,
as Palin reveals the Sahara to us as something considerably more than endless
sand dunes. Facet by facet, Michael Palin uncovers a colourful and eccentric
panoply of cultures, with chequered histories that stretch back to the
dawn of time. Beginning (and ending) in Gibraltar, we are taken from the
fabled realms of the ancient Egyptians to the Islamic republics of the
present day, as Palin conjures up a journey that alternates between gallows
humour and often considerable discomfort. Most of us will never experience
the teeming nightlife of Dakar or travel down the river Niger to the fabled
city of Timbuktu. But Palin has done it for us, and this book (with or
without the accompanying TV series) is a highly enjoyable way to relive
that journey with him. --Barry Forshaw - Amazon.co.uk

Looking
for Lovedu: A Woman's Journey Across Africa
by Ann Jones
Book Description The adventure began when a young British photographer,
Kevin Muggleton, suggested driving from one end of Africa to the other–“You
know, the old ‘Cape to Cairo’ sort of thing.” For the renowned feminist
writer Ann Jones, it soon became an expedition with a mission: to find
the legendary Lovedu, a tribe ruled by a great rainmaking queen and dedicated
to the “feminine” ideals of compromise, cooperation, tolerance, and peace.
Setting out from Tangier in a battered old blue-and-yellow Land Rover,
Jones and Muggleton face daunting physical challenges, from shifting sand
in the Sahara to deep mud wallows in Zaire. They encounter severe food
shortages in Mali, military roadblocks in Nigeria, and corrupt border guards
all over. In Mauritania they meet a young girl who offers to give Jones
her baby sister. As they pass through the ever-changing face of Africa
toward a meeting with the Queen of the Lovedu, Jones is perceptive, funny,
moving, astute–everything a good travel writer should be. You’ll feel you’re
right there beside her, meeting the people, marveling at the physical beauty
of the land, sharing in the grand adventure.
