"A travers les cactus : Traversée de l'Algérie à bicyclette" by Édouard de Perrodil is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles a bicycle journey across Algeria during the heat of September, focusing on the adventures and challenges encountered along the way. The narrative is likely to explore themes of exploration and endurance, as the author undertakes this ambitious trip with a companion, Albert Van Marke. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the protagonist's audacious plan to traverse Algeria by bicycle despite warnings about the oppressive heat and difficult terrain. As the author sets out from Paris towards Marseille and ultimately to Alger, he reflects on his previous travels and the unique characteristics of his new companion, Albert Van Marke. The narrative is infused with humor and vivid descriptions of the setting, providing an engaging glimpse into the myriad experiences that await them, from the warmth of the Mediterranean to the challenges of the Algerian landscape. As the adventure begins, readers are set up for a journey that promises both physical trials and the exploration of cultural encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
