Description
Excerpt from L''Asie Inconnue: Dans les Sables de l''Asie
Une triste localité que Krasnovodsk, la tête de ligne actuelle du fameux chemin de fer transcaspien. Pas trace de végétation, pas une goutte d''eau potable! Toutes les sources sont salées, comme la mer qui bat ce rivage de mort. Pour approvisionner la colonie de fonctionnaires fixée dans ce désert, l''eau est apportée de loin dans des wagons citernes. Et quelle température, 37° à l''ombre, à midi, ici sur le bord de la mer!
