Description

Anne Hugon (au); Alexandra Cambell (tr). “Dr. Livingston, I presume” -- Stanley’s famous words echo through history. But what of the other great explorers of the mysterious interior of Africa? In the space of barely 50 years the extraordinary Europeans discussed here traveled to the sources of the Nile & tracked the course of the Congo & Zambezi rivers. Their achievements led to commercial exploitation & ruthless colonization. This is the story of euphoric success, physical horrors, & the dramatic consequences of a meeting of cultures. Hundreds of color & black & white illustrations. Translated from the French edition.
