Félix Dubois journeys to Timbuctoo, the fabled desert city on the Niger long closed to outsiders. He uncovers its Islamic scholarship, gold and salt trade, and faded grandeur beneath the encroaching Sahara. A vivid record of West African exploration and the reality behind one of history's most romanticized names.
