For Henryk Sienkiewicz, "In Desert and Wilderness" represented a final triumph; this was the last novel he would complete. Sienkiewicz, who had visited Africa in 1891, successfully recreates in the book the beauty he encountered amid the continent's entrancing landscape. Written over eighty years ago for a younger audience, but appealing to all ages, "In Desert and Wilderness" remains a literary treasure in Poland.
