Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the published travelogue of a European explorer named Mungo Park on his expedition through West Africa in the 1790s. It documents his journey from the Gambia River through present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea and into Sierra Leone, an area that was all but unexplored by Europeans at the time. The work contains rich descriptions of the people, cultures, and landscapes Park encountered along the way, including the various peoples of the Niger River valley, the Mandingo people of West Africa, and the Arab and Berber slave trade of the time. Along with these descriptions are Parkâs observations on the diverse plants, animals, and ecosystems he encountered, providing a unique glimpse into the natural history of the region. The author's detailed account of his interactions with these civilizations provides insight into the complex social and political dynamics of the region. His observations of the slave trade offer a firsthand account of the devastation wrought by that practice. Moreover, the author's own struggles with illness and danger illuminate the physical and psychological challenges faced by explorers. Park's writing style is engaging and accessible, conveying the challenges, wonders, and tragedies he experienced with candor and wit. This book offers a valuable historical record and is considered one of the most important works of African exploration ever written. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282472696_0
