In Desert and Wilderness
by Henryk Sienkiewicz
Inspired by his travels in Africa, the famous Polish novelist presents a fascinating book that tells the adventures and experiences of two children during their escape from Khartoum after the death of General Gordon and their flight from Africa to the Indian Ocean. The adventures of children in the Egyptian desert and the African desert during the reign of the Mahdi (1848 - 1885) also contain a huge amount of information about the flora and fauna of the African marshes and forests.
