Fascinated from her childhood by her uncle, a Catholic missionary, Lieve Joris set out on board the "Fabiolaville" to the Belgian Congo, the modern Zaire of President Mobutu. This book is both a journalist's account of a troubled country with a colonial past and a story of a journey to Zaire.

"Fascinated from childhood by the enigmatic figure of her uncle, a Catholic missionary in Africa who returned only for short leaves bearing unfamiliar presents, Lieve Joris set out on board the Fabiolaville to the former Belgian Congo, the modern Zaïre of the ubiquitous President Mobutu. The author describes equally vividly the remnants of Zaïre's colonial past, the mission stations and the white expatriate community - many of whom ignore as far as possible the country in which they live - and the realities of modern Zaïre. From the chaos of Kinshasa to the remote villages of the interior, she falls for the charm of the inhabitants while laying bare the corruption endemic in the system.". N° de réf. du vendeur 12355
