内容简介

South from Barbary is Justin Marozzi’s compelling account of his epic 1,500–mile journey by camel across the Libyan Sahara, retracing the old slave trade routes from the coast of North Africa to the fabled oasis of Kufra. Marozzi traces the country’s turbulent past in a dazzling blend of travel writing and history, evoking the poetry and solitude of the desert, the misery of the slave trade, the plight of a benighted nation, and the humor and generosity of its people.
