Customer Review

Henry de Monfreid (1877 - 1974) French adventurer is illustrated by his adventurous exploits, a free man, the Horn of Africa.

"Secrets of the Red Sea" recount his first commitments to the control of a dhow in which he invested all his meager fortune to fish for pearls. The crew is composed of young athletes from various neighboring nations of Djibouti. Trade beads led the man navigating freely building its fate to that of arms.

This first volume of his memoirs ends in the early months of the First World War.

Monfreid inspired the great Joseph Kessel for which I devote a passion in "Square Fortune" and Hergé in "The Cigar of the Pharaohs".

The freedom of lifestyle, freedom of thought and action make endearing personality of this adventurer so pleasant to read.
