This intense book chronicles an epic journey that the traveller inside of each of us yearns to be able to accomplish. Yet, few of us ever undertake such a trip. Paul Theroux, the acclaimed travel writer whose books no doubt fill our libraries, is the perfect adventurer to pen this work. Starting in Cairo, he chronicles the arduous tale of crossing Sub-Saharan Africa overland, south across the Nile and Great Rift Valley, and finally ending in Cape Town. Trains, hitchhiking, canoeing, ferries, and military vehicles are all part of the construct to get from there to here.
