Product Information

Praise for the original edition: "Fascinating information … an attractive choice for libraries ..." -Booklist A lifelong fascination with the desert led Lawrie Raskin to undertake a remarkable trek across the Sahara to the fabled city of Timbuktu. Together with author Debora Pearson, he chronicles his journey to the ancient city-and beyond. Readers will discover first-hand what it's like to travel over vast seas of orange sand. They'll experience the nasty smell of a camel's breath, learn how to bargain in an African market and read about the roles women play in Moslem societies. Raskin's evocative photographs, including scenes of modern-day life, reflect the many faces of Africa. His enthusiasm and wit shine through as he invites readers to share in his extraordinary adventures and eye-opening discoveries. This revised edition features new text and photographs showcasing how contemporary Africa, from cell phones to skyscrapers, lives alongside the ancient among the sands of the Sahara. The next best thing to being there, 52 Days by Camel is a stunning introduction to the fascinating culture and breathtaking landscapes of the Sahara desert.

Reviews
This nonfiction memoir will fascinate all armchair travelers as they journey with the author on his real-life trek., Junior readers will enjoy this true-life travel adventure that is told in a somewhat informal style... Delightful., This account of the author's travels in North Africa is fascinating reading and is illustrated by many striking photographs that help to make the area come alive in the reader's mind. Lawrie Raskin's enthusiasm for seeing the Sahara first hand is infectious, and one can't help but be caught up in his excitement at actually visiting such exotic and remote locations as Timbuktu. (Although, he is reminded that his impressions are relative when he is taking photographs in Timbuktu and is asked, "What are you doing?" by a resident. He replies, "Oh, taking pictures of mysterious Timbuktu." The questioner comments, "Timbuktu is not mysterious. It is you who is mysterious!") The colourful presentation of information, easy writing style, and intrigue of a culture so different from our own make 52 Days by Camel a great recreational read as well as a resource for assigned study of the land and people of North Africa., This account of the author's travels in North Africa is fascinating reading and is illustrated by many striking photographs, Junior readers will enjoy this true-life travel adventure that is told in a somewhat informal style... Raskin is a filmmaker and photographer who recounts his journey to fulfill his dreams of visiting the Sahara Desert and seeing the fabled city of Timbuktu and the ancient salt mines of Taoudenni.... Colour map illustrations show Raskin's routes and include annotations highlighting landmarks and events described in the narrative... Many sidebars provide additional factual information about many aspects of civilization in North Africa... This edition has eliminated a page about life on a caravan (a way of life that verges on extinction) but added a brief list of English words that are derived from Arabic, a substantial index, and up-to-date lists of books and websites for further reading. Some of the websites include engaging video and audio clips. The index and reading list will make this book more useful for research projects, but the travel tale and colourful photographs will also make for delightful recreational reading.
