Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a first-hand account of a journey undertaken by the author to join the rear guard of Henry Morton Stanley's expedition into the Congo in 1886. Initially prompted by a newspaper advertisement, the author chronicles his travels from Antwerp to Banana and finally to Yambuya in the Congo Free State. Along the way, he reflects on the history of European exploration in Africa, and the exploitative barbarism perpetrated against the native people by Arab slavers. Witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of disease on his fellow travelers, the author presents a sobering and unflinching look at the realities of 19th-century African exploration, while providing compelling insights into the complexities of European colonialism and its lasting impact on the Congo. His vivid descriptions of the landscape, native life, and harrowing hardships encountered on the journey make for a gripping, thought-provoking read. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331970538_0
