I realy enjoyed this travelogue telling the story of Langewiesche's journey through the Sahara, starting at the port of Algiers. Langweische travels south along the Trans-Saharan Highway through all of Algeria, then heads East to travel through Niger, Mali, and on to Senegal. Along the way he meets many interesting (and some treacherous people) and does a great job of describing the sights and feelints the Sahara desert inspired in him.

This was quite an epic journey, and one I was very interested in reading about.
