Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. 290 pp. Quarter-bound in green cloth on light yellow boards; lettered in gilt on the spine; frontis map; headband. Light wear on the corners of the dustjacket; price intact; no interior markings. When Caroline Alexander set out to explore the equatorial African country of Gabon, she retraced the steps of a journey made in 1895 by Mary Kingsley, author of the best-selling classic Travels in West Africa. For most people great travel books lead merely to realms of the imagination, heaven for an armchair geographer, but for an intrepid few, they pose an actual invitation. Kingsley wrote that if anyone went to Gabon, they would find things exactly as she said. Alexander decided to take up the offer. The Contents are: Libreville; Lambarene; Samba Falls; Talagouga or the Sight of Woe; Hunting Rapids; End of the Line; Overland to the Remboue; and Homeward Bound..
