French author Alexandre Poussin's tale of his cross-Africa trek is harrowing: Des moments d’espoir, d’émerveillement, mais aussi d’extrêmes difficultés. Au cours de leur voyage, Alex et Sonia ont connu de terribles épreuves : tempêtes de sable, fatigue, soif extrême et soleil de plomb, pluie diluvienne, mouche tsé-tsé, faune menaçante, paludisme et fièvres terribles... Their tale captured the attention of the European nations: International Herald Tribune Best Seller (France, over 280,000 sold to date); Express Titre-Live Best Seller for 17 weeks; Best Book Award, Cosne-sur-Loire Bookfair, 2005; and Best Book Award at the Adventure Festival of Los Angeles, 2005. The footage was edited into a film that won multiple awards including Golden Fleece of the International Adventure Film Festival of Dijon 2004. It was also edited into a twelve-episode television special that ran on the Travel Channel over 40 times (over 300,000 viewers). The highest bidder in this auction will win this full-color large-size book "Africa Trek - l'Album" photos set to text in French -- more than 300 pages of amazing color photos of people and places from the cross-Africa trek.
