A Cure for Serpents: An Italian Doctor in North Africa

The Duke of Pirajno arrived in North Africa in 1924. For the next eighteen years his experiences as a doctor in Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somaliland, provided him with opportunities and experiences rarely given to a European. He brings us stories of noble chieftains and celebrated courtesans, of Berber princes and Tuareg entertainers, of giant elephants, and a lioness who fell in love with the author.”A Cure for Serpents is the result of this life of overseas service ‘“ a delightful account of living and working in Africa as a doctor and colonial administrator….The publishers deserve full credit for this and the other volumes in what is a magical backlist of otherwise out-of-print titles, which contains some of the best travel writing and memoir ever written.”- Geographical Magazine –
