Sebta, Morocco, 1930. At the wheel of its rugged Chevrolet, a young Danish journalist who was freshly converted to Islam was elected to a road trip across North Africa, leading him to the Holy Places. An unprecedented adventure in the journey of initiation through the most breathtaking and enchanting landscapes, from which it will not be unscathed ...
From the Atlas to the Sahara, from Tetouan to Alexandria to Fez, Touggourt, Gabes or Benghazi, this accomplished arabophone and polyglot does not hesitate to break out of the beaten paths to fraternize with the most diverse Muslim communities-scholars and notable cities, resistant to the mountains, mystics or nomads of the desert and even troglodytes. Endowed by its deep humanity, the faith chevilled in the body, its openness of mind and its taste for risk in prime, will lead it to become the privileged witness of the colonial night which then abates on this part of the world-between despair of the populations, lead of lead and cruel campaigns of repression.
the first time translated into French, this classic of the travel literature is thus also, and perhaps above all, a rare historical document, a vibrant indictment against colonialism, especially against the aberrant and criminal utopian fascist utopia.
