Über den Autor
Stanley was a U.S. traveler born in Wales, educated in the poorhouse, and adopted by a New Orleans merchant who gave him his name. He fought in the Confederate army and after the war became a newspaper correspondent. He was commissioned by the New York Herald to go in search of David Livingstone in mehr anzeigen 1871. Stanley based one of his most popular books, Through the Dark Continent (1878), on a series of diaries in which he recorded the progress of his expedition of 1874--77. He presented the day-to-day account of his journeys undertaken to discover the sources of the Nile and Congo rivers, his circumnavigation of Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika, and his dangerous trip down the Congo River to Boma.

The narrative unfolds as Stanley recounts his arduous journey, fraught with numerous challenges and dangers, as he ventures into uncharted territories and encounters various African tribes and landscapes. The book provides a firsthand account of his encounters with hostile tribes, extreme weather conditions, and treacherous terrain.
Stanley's mission was not only to explore and map the African continent but also to investigate the fate of fellow explorer David Livingstone, who had gone missing in Africa years earlier. Stanley's successful search for Livingstone is one of the most famous episodes in the history of exploration and is covered extensively in the book.
Throughout "In Darkest Africa," Stanley vividly describes the natural beauty, rich wildlife, and diverse cultures he encounters along the way. He delves into the customs, traditions, and social structures of the African tribes, providing valuable insights into their way of life.
The book also sheds light on the exploitative practices of the European powers during the era of colonialism in Africa. Stanley criticizes the brutality and abuses committed by colonial forces, highlighting the negative consequences of European imperialism on African societies.
"In Darkest Africa" serves as a significant contribution to the understanding of African geography, history, and culture during the late 19th century. Stanley's writing style is engaging and descriptive, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and challenges of his extraordinary expedition.
The book's impact extended far beyond its time of publication, influencing subsequent explorers and contributing to the public's fascination with Africa. It remains a classic in the genre of exploration literature and continues to be studied by historians, geographers, and adventurers alike.
"In Darkest Africa" is not only an adventure narrative but also a reflection on the complexities of Africa's past and the enduring impact of European colonization. Stanley's firsthand account provides valuable historical and cultural insights, making the book a compelling read for those interested in the exploration of Africa and the legacy of colonialism.… (mehr)
