The book recounts the author's extensive journey through Central Africa, aiming to reach the legendary city of Timbuctoo and beyond through the challenging Sahara Desert. The narrative is likely rich with descriptive observations of the cultures, landscapes, and encounters he faced along his travels, providing a firsthand account of an era of exploration and discovery. The opening of this account sets the stage for an ambitious journey, marked by the author’s reflections on the challenges of documenting his travels. Caillié discusses his fears and the need for discretion in a land where religious tensions and local customs could lead to severe repercussions for a foreigner. He details his preparations and the difficulties in accurately recording his observations due to the hasty notes he took amid the dangers of his travels. As he prepares to depart for Timbuctoo, he also highlights his intentions to contribute to European knowledge about African geography and commerce, emphasizing the interplay between exploration and cultural exchange during his era.
