About the Book

Robert Twigger's latest journey is in search of paradise: a desert adventure in the footsteps of seasoned explorers such as Theodore Almasy (the inspiration for The English Patient) who tried to locate the lost oasis of Zezura, reportedly home to hordes of treasure, flocks of birds and a lush, verdant valley. The Egyptian Sahara is one of the most arid and hostile environments on earth: a great sand sea that can lead to nowhere but a dusty death. But it is also a wonder of desolate beauty, where in the ultra clear light of the desert you can see for miles, where 'a falcon floating in the distance above the canyon top is like an ink stroke, a precise piece of calligraphy'. Armed with plenty of water and a homemade wooden trolley (his Lada being too heavy for the sand), Twigger embarks on a desert trip like no other...

Review :
Robert Twigger's latest travel odyssey is a search for a fabled oasis in the Egyptian Sahara... full of little gems - THE OBSERVER ?Twigger is a divining-rod for oddities and oddballs. As a humorist, he combines enthusiasm and entropy in perfect balance.? - THE TIMES - IAIN FINLAYSON Twigger is such a charmer, delightful and poignant by turns. - DAILY EXPRESS - DUNCAN FALLOWELL This is a thoughtful book, about the desire to strip modern life bare of material accreditations, even if only for a short space of time. - FINANCIAL TIMES MAGAZINE - ADRIAN TURPIN
