The book offered to the reader is a description of the journey of two Czechoslovak engineers in a Czechoslovak-made car. Testing the technical capabilities of the Tatra and organizing sales of Czechoslovak cars in Africa - this was the main task of the trip. In addition, the authors set themselves another, secondary task: to use their travel notes for literary purposes - for radio reporting, appearances in print, and publishing a book. The main place in the book is occupied by the description of pictures of nature, relief features, temperature, precipitation, flora, fauna, etc., that is, those aspects of African reality that can be observed directly from the car and which have a direct impact on its movement. As attentive observers, the authors recorded many interesting details characterizing the way of life of African peoples, describing their homes, utensils, rituals, clothing, jewelry, folklore, dances and music. The authors painted true pictures of the historical and social contrasts that they observed in the Maghreb countries and in Egypt: on the one hand, beautiful monuments of ancient architecture, the remains of a great civilization and luxurious palaces of the nobility, and on the other, poverty and illiteracy of the broad masses of the population. Czechoslovak travelers were also interested in the political problems of Africa: rivalry between various powers, strengthening the position of American monopolies in African colonies, the struggle between various political parties, the attitude of Africans towards the colonial powers, etc. The authors truthfully talk about what they saw, without embellishing or distorting anything .
