Summary "Timbouctou, voyage au Maroc au Sahara et au Soudan, Tome 1 (de 2)" by Oskar Lenz is a travelogue written during the late 19th century. This work narrates the author’s expedition through Morocco, the Sahara, and towards Timbuktu, focusing on geographical observations, cultural interactions, and the political conditions he encounters along the way. The readers can expect rich descriptions and insights into the diverse landscapes and communities of North and West Africa. The opening of the travelogue introduces readers to the background of Oskar Lenz's expedition, which began in the autumn of 1879 when he was commissioned by the African Society of Germany. He expresses a hopeful ambition to explore Timbuktu, a city shrouded in mystery. The preface outlines his preparatory experiences and the supportive figures that assisted him, including Moroccan officials and his companions. Lenz sets a tone of adventure and discovery, detailing his preparations and the expectations he has for the journey ahead. The narrative begins with Lenz's arrival in Tangier, a significant port city, and an initial exploration of its geographical and cultural landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
