Into Africa
The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone
by Martin Dugard
Review this book!
David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer, was a frequent visitor to the African interior during the 19th century, and one of its most exciting and prolific chroniclers. So his disappearance in the late 1860s while questing for the Nile's source created an immediate uproar. The journey to get the scoop of the century fell to Henry David Stanley, who spent three years hunting the missing doctor down. That adventure is recast in Dugard's INTO AFRICA. Dugard, himself an explorer and author of FARTHER THAN ANY MAN, reimagines not only the search, drawing on papers and correspondence, but also the country itself in its context of mystery and home to the unknown.
