Kompletný popis

"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" The man who uttered those famous words was compared with Christopher Columbus in his day and became one of the late 19th century's most newsworthy figures. Yet, 100 years after Henry Morton Stanley's death, his accomplishments in Africa have been discredited as epitomising the wrongs inflicted by the scourge of European colonialism. This book re-creates Stanley's seven epic African journeys, explaining why he made them, what transpired en route, and what resulted. The author's in-depth research, detailed descriptions, and vivid prose make this both a fascinating read and a notable contribution to the study of Africa, exploration, and the age of empire. This book re-evaluates the extraordinary life and exploits of one of colonial history's most controversial figures. It is available in a hardback edition, which was published in December 2004.
