| Publisher Description: In this four-volume work, the West-African state Niger is introduced according as the author found it half a century ago: volume 1 is an introduction and a description of the capital. Volumes 2 to 4 refer to various excursions within Niger. Volume 3 (this book) presents a journey with a pirogue on the river Niger, a drive by car to the boundary of the Sahara and journeys along the glacial valleys Dallol Bosso and Dallol Mauri. This was at a time, before the devastating years of drought swept through the country and the remains were attacked by al-Qaeda and Boko Haram, in such a way that the country is still suffering and is no longer suitable for foreign visitors. |
