Summary "Les voix qui crient dans le désert : souvenirs d'Afrique" by Ernest Psichari is a reflective memoir written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the author’s military expeditions and personal journey in Africa, intertwined with a profound exploration of faith and spirituality. Psichari, a soldier, reflects on his experiences in the Mauritanian desert, detailing both the physical landscape and his internal struggles. The opening of the memoir sets a contemplative tone and introduces key themes of longing and spiritual awakening. As Psichari embarks on a caravan journey across diverse terrains, he vividly describes the sights and sensations of Africa while grappling with his own beliefs. The narrative begins with the departure from the Senegal river, featuring a military escort that showcases the landscape and its historical significance. Through rich and poetic prose, the author creates a portrait of his quest for personal meaning amidst the vastness of the desert, hinting at an eventual conversion to Catholicism while navigating encounters with local tribes and reflecting on the complexities of colonization.
