In Desert and Wilderness is a brilliant novel of a Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz, his only book written for youth. The action takes place in Africa, where two children, a Polish boy of 14 and an eight-year-old English girl, find themselves having been kidnapped by a group of Arabs. They are taken to an exhausting travel to the Sahara Desert, suffering from heat, thirst, hunger and poor treatment and being often abused; then live in the city ruined by war, poverty and diseases. Much more misfortunes expect them to try their staying power and fortitude.
This is tale of heroism, inspired by real events. Though juvenile, it’s a pleasant piece of literature
for all ages.
