«Méharées» is the travel and science writing book by Théodore Monod, published by J'ai lu as a paperback (249 pages, in French).
The author recounts his long expeditions through the desert, on foot or by camel, enduring extreme heat. For months he crosses dunes, plains and cliffs, collects stones, plants and prehistoric remains, and notes his findings in notebooks. The book portrays the life of the meharist, stripped of the superfluous, in a style that combines poetry and humour.
The original work was published in 1937; this French edition by J'ai lu, in paperback, appeared in 1998.
It will appeal to readers of travel literature, popular natural science, and chronicles of the desert and North Africa.
Maximilien Vox was a French writer, cartoonist, illustrator, publisher, journalist, critic art theorist and historian of the French letter and typography.
