“Imagine a journey, a journey through Africa.
No notice departure, no need of planes, jeeps, camels, no special footwear, no sprain or hyena bite proof boots. No vaccination necessary. Sitting comfortably on your armchair or sofa alongside the person you want to share your journey with, pick up your copy of Polepoledell’Africa adagio, adagio and experience your journey, page by page. Tread the sand surrounding the Meroe pyramids, go into the painted Nile bank village houses, witness the daily labour involved in drawing water from the well, see faces and customs which speak magically for themselves…”.
