"The Lost Oases" by Ahmad Muhammad Hasanayn is a narrative account of the author's explorations into the remote parts of the Libyan Desert, written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's ambitious journey of over two thousand miles, which led to the rediscovery of two long-lost oases, Arkenu and Ouenat. Through firsthand experiences, it showcases not only the challenges of desert travel but also the rich cultural and spiritual life of the Bedouin people. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the harsh yet captivating nature of the Libyan Desert, as well as the author's deep personal connection to it. The narrative begins with the author reflecting on a previous experience of lost hope in the desert, leading to his vow never to return—only to find himself drawn back two years later. His descriptions of the contrasting beauty of desert nights, the camaraderie among travelers, and the profound faith that sustains them serve to immerse the reader in the vast, silent expanse of the desert. It establishes a rich atmosphere of adventure, exploration, and the quest for understanding both the physical landscape and the people who inhabit it, setting the stage for the journey to come.
