Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the life story of explorer and missionary David Livingstone. Born in poverty in Scotland, Livingstone would eventually travel to Africa to spread Christianity and fight the slave trade, cementing his status as a pioneering travel writer. As a young man, Livingstone was apprenticed to a cotton-spinning factory at the age of ten. Despite his long working hours, Livingstone was determined to further his education, studying Latin by moonlight and reading books while operating machinery. In 1840, he travelled to Africa as a medical missionary, spending time with the Bakwena people and learning their language and customs. He later married Mary Moffat, and together they embarked on multiple expeditions into the African interior. Livingstone faced many challenges, including being mauled by a lion and contracting malaria, yet he remained undeterred in his quest to share his faith and bring about social change. His work had a profound impact on African communities and contributed significantly to the abolition of slavery. This book offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a man whose unwavering determination left an indelible mark on both Africa and the world.
