Hardback. Condition: Good. The city of Timbuktu in modern Mali has been a destination of legend for centuries, ever since the days when camel caravans made epic journeys across the Sahara to trade in salt, gold and slaves in its markets.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Timbuktu - bis heute klingt dieser Name nach abenteuerlichem Entdeckergeist und unschatzbaren Reichtumern.
