Pressestimmen

`An exemplary work of investigative journalism that is also a wonderfully colourful book of history and travel' William Dalrymple, Observer, Books of the Year `This spellbinding record of Timbuktu's intellectual heritage blends accounts of European explorers to the ancient city with contemporary reportage' New Yorker `A work of intellectual honesty that represents narrative non-fiction at its most satisfying and engaging' William Dalrymple, Guardian `A piece of postmodern historiography of quite extraordinary sophistication and ingenuity... [written with] exceptional delicacy and restraint' TLS `Part reportage, part history, part romance and wholly gripping... a riveting read' Sunday Times `A fascinating account of Timbuktu's history and the brave and crazy adventurers who sought death and glory trying to get there' The Times `Gripping ... written with journalistic verve' Sunday Telegraph `A rewarding account ... after reading it I felt I knew more, cared more and wanted to know more' Scotland on Sunday `Running alongside Mr English's lively telling of the quest for Timbuktu is a thrilling account of a more recent story: the daring evacuation of hundred of thousands of Timbuktu's manuscripts by its librarians during the jihadist occupation in 2012... The two stories illuminate each other, but somewhat obliquely. It is nonetheless a brilliant device' Economist `As Timbuktu remains off limits for tourists, this account is all the more intriguing' Financial Times

I admit I knew near to nothing of Timbuktu which was one of the reasons why I bought this book (another was a recommendation of newspaper magazine I read online regularly).That said it surprised me in its intensity and vibrant storytelling. It didn't take long for me to want to know if the city's manuscripts would be saved and who was the first European who finally found the mysterious town in West Africa.The best part, I learned so many things. For example I knew the Sahara is huge but now I know how big and how its parts are called and that its sandy part is actually the smallest. It was all presented in ways that I'm remembering parts form the beginning even though this book isn't one you can read in one go. At least I couldn't. Too many names and like the author said so himself in his notes too many similar names (apparently many of Mali's inhabitants have surnames like Toure or Haidara) which made it confusing at times. I loved the historical retrospects parts. People who explored the world in the 17/18/19 century (and earlier of course) before there were vaccinations, antibiotics, and anti malaria drugs were true heroes. Every single one of them must have had the strength of an ox and a cast-iron will.The ending came a bit sudden for my tastes. In part that's due because the notes take up a considerable part of the book and reading the ebook was deceiving here.All in all it was an entertaining and educational book - and you can never go wrong with one of those. Also a book that makes for a good present.

Yet another story by a white European, writing from a comfortable distance and not having experienced any of the events, who mistrusts the African protagonist. The irony appears to be lost on the author, who by writing the book is being as opportunistic as anyone. The books thesis is certainly true, that European perceptions of Timbuktu past and present remain the same. But it is because still live in a colonial world, with colonial attitudes so deeply ingrained they go unrecognized in our own thoughts and words.
