In the first half of the twentieth centruy, European writers plunged into the stony, baking expanse of the Sahara, drawn by their own strange dreams. What did they hope to find? And what was really there? In Desert Divers - part travel book, part literary history and part confession - Sven Lindqvist follows their paths into the Sahara and drags to the surface the history of colonial slaughter and exploitation that enabled Europeans to conduct their one-sided affair with the desert.
Les mer
Lindqvist's personal journey into the Sahara and the racist assumptions of those writers who have gone before him, dragging to the surface stories of colonial slaughter and sexual exploitation which contaminate his boyhood idols.

'A polemical adventure in travel, criticism and autobiography, Desert Divers opens up a vast discursive territory. It is gripping from start to finish' Geoff Dyer 'A poem to the Sahara, and those whom it has obsessed; language as bare and hard as sand and gravel...Sensational' Guardian 'Sven Lindqvist is one of the most original and imaginative authors working at the end of the twentieth century' Richard Gott 'This is writing with a conscience that once again shows the enormous and provocative possibilities of the travel book' Sunday Times
