About This Item
1890 AUTHOR'S INSCRIPTION Emin Pasha African Exploration Sudan Rebellion Stanley
"Emin Pasha and the Rebellion at the Equator" is a compelling work of historical narration authored by Arthur Jermy Mounteney-Jephson, with the cooperation and revisions of Henry Morton Stanley. The book is a vivid recounting of Jephson's nine-month journey within the last provinces of the Sudan, a period characterized by rebellion, hardship, and unrelenting resilience.
Mounteney-Jephson, following his return from Africa, chose to share his intimate experiences with Emin Pasha in the Equatorial Province, in response to persistent requests from friends and contemporaries. The book bridges a critical gap in the expedition's chronicle, offering unparalleled insights into the province, its people, and the intricacies of its governance. Mounteney-Jephson's tale unfolds the reality of Emin Pasha, the province's governor, countering his idealized image in Europe. Despite his reputation as a resistance hero, Emin Pasha's leadership revealed indecisiveness and weakness, as observed during Mounteney-Jephson's extended stay. The book, a mix of adventure, politics, and human resilience, provides a nuanced view of a unique era in African history.
