'These diaries get us as close as we can now come to the camp fire around which Thesiger told his best stories'Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times
Synopsis
The earliest and most influential expeditions of the man now considered to be the greatest living explorer., The earliest and most influential expeditions of the man now considered to be the greatest living explorer. The Danakil Diary is the account of two journeys Thesiger made into the Danakil country in Abyssinia, now Ethiopia, in 1930-34 at the age of 24 - which, today, he still regards as the most dangerous he undertook. It was an extraordinary journey and a remarkable achievement. Thesiger succeeded in penetrating country that had wiped out two Italian expeditions and an Egyptian army before him, discovered what happened to the Awash River (one of the area's last geographical mysteries to be solved) and managed to survive amongst the Danakil tribesmen, to whom a man's status depended on the number of men he had killed and castrated. Besides giving early proof of Thesiger's descriptive genius - with his portrayal of the beautiful, savage landscapes, and their varied wildlife - The Danakil Diary reveals youthful evidence of his fierce motivation and uncompromising will, which are familiar hallmarks of his sixty years of travel among primitive peoples in some of the harshest and remotest areas of the world.

- 7***o (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI was getting worried that my book would never come. It took longer than expected for it to get to me after the shipping date, however, it was ordered during a holiday and that always delays things. I am thrilled that it came in such great condition. This is a must have book.
