<p>This account of a journey for which few predicted a happy outcome before or after it began ? with struggles through unforgiving terrain, close encounters with hostile animals, and a disastrous camp fire ? has turned out to be not only a full-on survival story but also a rare time-capsule of life in Central Africa in the early era of independence. The author shares his enjoyment of a rich variety of people encountered, from astonished children first seeing white faces to great-grandparents with family memories of Victorian explorers.</p> <p>A fed-up city-dweller’s idea of retracing on foot Stanley’s 1,200-mile expedition of 1871 originated in his boyhood reading of the American explorer’s classic account. Stanley’s team had been nearly 200 men; George Tardios’s for his equally historic expedition was himself, his wife and a young friend.</p> <p>With eight pages of photographic illustrations, this diary-based account of a journey accomplished 40 years ago has had to await the author’s thorough physical and mental recovery from it, further years earning a living in Tanzania, and self-reinvention in a changed England.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>How I Found Livingstone recounts Henry M. Stanley's 1871 expedition into East Africa in search of the missing missionary-explorer David Livingstone. Combining travel narrative, journalistic dispatch, imperial adventure, and ethnographic observation, the book moves from Zanzibar into the interior with a dramatic sense of hardship, logistics, and encounter. Its famous climax at Ujijiー"Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"ーbelongs to the literature of Victorian exploration, while its prose reflects both the energy and the assumptions of nineteenth-century imperial reportage. Stanley, born John Rowlands in Wales and later shaped by migration, war correspondence, and newspaper culture, was commissioned by the New York Herald to locate Livingstone after years of uncertainty about the explorer's fate. His background as a self-fashioned journalist and adventurer deeply informs the book: it is at once a personal vindication, a report for a sensation-hungry public, and a testament to the era's fascination with African geography. Readers interested in exploration literature, Victorian history, or the rhetoric of empire will find this work indispensable. It should be read critically, but also attentively, as a vivid document of ambition, endurance, and the making of modern media celebrity. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
