Title : The Ultimate Desert - Life and Death of Michel Vieuchange - Antoine de Meaux - book

Summary :

We knew nothing about Michel Vieuchange (1904-1930), the author of the dazzling Smara, a travel diary snatched from the furnace and sands of one of the last blank spots on the world's maps, the Saharan Rio de Oro. Antoine de Meaux does more than recount the odyssey of this twenty-six-year-old explorer, who died at the end of his journey. Having had access to numerous unpublished archives, he manages to bring to life from the inside the journey of this boy from a good family, promised a bright future, and who deliberately chose to subject himself to the test of the worst. Because the photos are there: in the space of a few seasons, the well-bred young man is transformed into a sort of demon or archangel, casting a lightning gaze upon the world... From one image to the next, what had happened?
