About This Book
The travelogue records a sea voyage from Marseille to Algiers, describing a violent spring storm aboard ship, the landing and first impressions of Algiers with its blend of European modernity and North African atmosphere, bustling quays, Kasbah streets and local inhabitants, and continues into Kabylie and the desert with vivid landscape sketches, ethnographic observations, architectural and botanical notes, and practical travel episodes. The narrative mixes anecdote and careful description, punctuated by photographic plates and a map that illustrate towns, people, and natural scenery encountered on the route.
