Opis

Entering the French Navy, Pierre Loti saw the world from shipboard. He spent long months among the palm groves of the South Seas; he visited the scorching coast of Senegal and the wild seas of Iceland. This work takes us on a journey with Loti from Brittany to Constantinople, from China to Morocco, and from Egypt to Ispahan.
