Summary |
"Le Diable au Sahara" by Pierre Mille is a fictional work, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the experiences of the main character, Barnavaux, as he grapples with questions of existence, dreams, and supernatural elements while traversing the Sahara post-war. The book delves into themes of reality versus illusion and the mystical forces that influence human lives. At the start of the story, the narrator reflects on Barnavaux's life and his past encounters, particularly concerning his obsession with understanding the mysteries of dreams and the supernatural. Barnavaux recounts vivid dreams of peculiar landscapes and abandoned houses, hinting at profound significance beneath their surface. The narrative also introduces various characters, including the father d'Ardigeant, an explorer, and a priest, who discuss occult ideas and spiritual beliefs, setting a compelling backdrop for the exploration of psychological and metaphysical themes as they journey across the desert.
