The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of North Africa. Woodberry writes about the vibrant markets, the intricate architecture of the mosques and palaces, and the nomadic way of life of the Berber people. He also describes the stark beauty of the desert, the sand dunes, and the oases that provide a lifeline for those who live there. In addition to his observations on North Africa, Woodberry also includes his thoughts on art, literature, and philosophy. He reflects on the influence of North African culture on Western art and literature, and the concept of the sublime as it relates to the desert.
