Robert Twigger's latest journey is in search of paradise: both in the strange underbelly of a Cairo you never knew existed (aided by the hapless Ozman and his rusty Buick), and deep in the Sahara desert in the footsteps of seasoned explorers such as Count Lazlo Almasy (the inspiration for The English Patient). Almasy tried to locate the lost oasis of Zezura, reportedly home to hordes of treasure, flocks of birds, and a lush, verdant valley.
Twigger decides to relocate his family to avoid Britain's rip-off prices, but he discovers that things aren't quite as simple as he thought. He escapes the chaos of Cairo for the Sahara, a great sand sea which, at its most hostile, can lead to nowhere but a dusty death. But it is also a wonder of desolate beauty, where in the ultra clear light of the desert, you can see for miles.
Armed with plenty of water and a homemade wooden trolley, Twigger finally gets around to embarking on a desert trip like no other.
Hard cover, with dust jacket, both in very good condition.
