Celebrating life with gusto and in inimitable style, he describes a journey fraught with discomfort, mishap, ecstasy, disillusionment, discovery and astonishing human encounters; a journey that would be acceptable madness in a white man but is regarded by the author’s fellow Africans as an extraordinary and inexplicable expenditure of time and money. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Sihle's famous counterpart Paul Theroux, author of Dark Star Safari, comments, Dark Continent, My Black Arse is uniquely an African travel story: the story of 'an African traveling on his own money and motivation, from one end of Africa to the other'. An inspiring story, it carries the following warning: Reading this book might cause you to resign from your boring job, leave your nagging \/ ungrateful \/ insecure partner, stop merely existing and start living the life you have always longed and yearned for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Struik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026821431536,"sku":"9781415200360","price":12.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781415200360_p0.jpg?v=1763726577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781415200360","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
