A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Riveting firsthand account of the long and arduous search by journalist/adventurer for one of the great explorers of the 19th century. A real-life adventure story that tells of incredible hardships — disease, hostile natives, tribal warfare, impenetrable jungles, and other obstacles. Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) was a Welsh-American journalist and explorer who was famous for his exploration of central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Upon finding Livingstone, Stanley reportedly asked, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" Stanley is also known for his search for the source of the Nile, his work in and development of the Congo Basin region in association with King Leopold II of the Belgians, and commanding the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. He was knighted in 1899.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This volume recounts Henry Stanley's search for David Livingstone, a missionary-explorer lost in Africa during the Victorian era. In 1870, the New York Herald sent journalist Stanley to track down the English missionary. In these pages the great explorer describes the famous adventure that not only led him to Livingstone, but that led to tremendous discoveries in a previously unknown land.
