Summary "Von Tripolis nach Alexandrien - 2. Band" by Gerhard Rohlfs is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book details Rohlfs's expedition commissioned by the King of Prussia, exploring regions between Tripoli and Alexandria, with a focus on geography, flora, fauna, and cultural observations. It serves as an in-depth account of the landscapes and peoples he encounters, particularly in the Cyrenaica area and the Libyan desert. The opening of the work sets the stage for Rohlfs’s journey as he departs from Cyrene under challenging weather conditions. He describes the terrain and notable features he observes along the way, including ancient structures and fertile farmland, while reflecting on the region's history and its transformations through time. His travels proceed to various locations like Bengasi, with vivid depictions of the landscape and interactions with local populations, highlighting the richness of the land, the remnants of its ancient past, and the stark reality of nomadic life amidst the ruins of significant historical sites.
