Recommended book: The Stories of the Sahara, 1976, by Sanmao

The book narrates the author's simple but adventurous life in the Sahara Desert, which seems a desolate and dull place. The exotic natural scenery and life there, along with the author's romantic and intensive emotions will inspire you to explore the mysterious land.

Reading the book is like engaging in a dialogue with the author, who is unstrained, forthright, sincere and humorous.
