A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

During the last few years, Africa has been very much in the minds of people everywhere; especially has It been in the minds of theB ritish people, therefore I hope it will be thought that no apology is necessary for my writing this brief account of a ladys journey from the mouth of the Zambesi to the great Lake Tanganyika, which divides German East Africa from the Congo Free State. The journey was full of interest to me, and, having been undertaken through love of travel, and for the purposes of observation only, has presented to me aspects and incidents of native life in British Central Africa which, I hope, will interest and amuse those who have neither time nor inclination to travel so fan A lso, I should like them to know how kind and attentive the natives who are spoken of in England as savages, can be to a lady travelling absolutely alone with them.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
