No notes or writing-all pages are bright, clean and crisp.from Kirkus Reviews--"Katakala" is a portrait of an "Imaginary" African District under a British protectorate and consists of a series of views of several aspects, some humorous, some pitiful, of the district: the unreliable lake steamer, commandeered by an erratic Beandinavian, which carried all kinds of passengers -- African laborers, traders, civil servants, missionaries; the queer inhabitants of the lake shore -- strange, bizarre European importations -- diamond seekers, crocodile hunters and the usual tropic drunkards; the missionaries of several sects competing for and being used by the wily natives; and the matchless, altogether ridiculous, behavior of the British staff when confronted with a situation for which there was no precedent. This is a portrait drawn in hindsight, tinged by the author's nostalgic remembrance of things as they were, and with the advent of progress, as they are no longer. LOC SSS-16.

Add to basketCondition: Gut. (1. deutsche Ausgabe). 323 Seiten; 18 cm. Gutes Exemplar; Umschl. stw. berieben. - Deutsche EA. - Vorsatz mit priv. Widmung; aus der Bibliothek von Dr. H. J. Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin. - INHALT : Der Seedampfer. ----- Die Boma. ----- Die K.A.R. ----- Missionen und Missionare. ----- Weiteres über Missionen… und Missionare ----- Selbstverwaltungsbehörden. ----- Die Inder. ----- Männerfang. ----- Die Kolonie der Seeanrainer. ----- Abreise. // Sie werden Katakala auf keiner Landkarte finden: die kleine englische Station am Ufer eines zentralafrikanischen Sees ist ein Phantasiegebilde, der ideale Brennpunkt der zahllosen stories, wie sie überall dort erzählt werden, wo alte Kolonialhasen zusammensitzen und vergangener Zeiten gedenken. Daß Katakala ebenso lebendig und greifbar vor uns steht wie unsere tägliche Umgebung, verdanken wir Kittermasters großer Erzählergabe und seiner in langjährigem Aufenthalt erworbenen Kenntnis Afrikas. Aus dieser Sachkenntnis heraus vermag er auch die Probleme zu schildern, denen sich die Kolonialverwaltung heutzutage gegenübersieht. Immer neue Überraschungen bietet uns das Zusammenleben der weißen, braunen und schwarzen Menschen, immer wieder findet besonders der Liebhaber des englischen Humors Stellen, die er als Leckerbissen schätzen wird. Unter vielen anderen begegnen wir Kapitän Chri-sty, der den Barhocker seiner Kommandobrücke vorzieht; dem Distriktskommissar Worthington, dessen bauchrednerische Talente ihm bei Hexenprozessen zustatten kommen .
